Simply Amazing by Movie Guy
I've had the 391 for a couple of days now and am very impressed. While I did consider the 591 and other models in the current Denon line, I've been on a "simplicty" kick here recently and have been seeking out high quality components that give me the features I really want without the added cost and complications of the features that I do not want.



My main pre-purchase concern was that a receiver at this price point, even from Denon, would sound underpowered and thin. This is definitely not the case. Its powering 5 Polk speakers (TSi200 fronts, Tsi100 surrounds, CS10 center along with a HSU sub) with no problem. The sound is strong and clear with room to spare. Having configured other Denon receivers in the past, manual setup was a breeze. The 391 has more than enough HDMI and other inputs to meet my current and future needs. The FM tuner seems to be especially strong.



Five years ago, I couldn't have imagined a receiver with these features and of this quality for $250.00. Denon has an entry level winner here; strongly recommended for those seeking excellent 5.1 audio at this price point.

Great Radio by rowbeart
Easy to set up. The sound is good for having one speaker. I like to listen to Pandora on mine and you can rate the songs with this radio. Great to have a stand alone internet radio that can be played anywhere in the house. Check out reviews on Youtube to get a better understanding of what this radio is capable of.

More than enough bass for my needs. by Jim Smiley
First of all I'm no audiophile. However I know what sound good to me and what doesn't. The Polk PSW10 sounds fantastic. I've paired mine with the Polk Soundbar 50. The additional bass the PSW10 provides enhances all TV programming and movies. As far as music is concerned the PSW10 enables the soundbar to outshine my Klipsch KG4 speakers. I'm well beyond the need for earthquake bass. However you will feel the PSW10s in your chest when you volume up your music or movies. Set up was a cinch. I simply connected to my receivers front speakers as per the Soundbar manuals suggestion and plugged it in. Automatic on and off means I never need to think about it again. Having experienced the quality and ease of the PSW10s I would gladly pay double the $89.00 I paid at Amazon.

Excellent introductory system for a reasonable price by Anonymous
Bought this system to complement a 58 plasma and PS3 home theater system which is in a fairly large room.



The box is huge, weighs about 90 lbs and labeled as what it is on the outside. Fedex left it outside the home which fortunately for us doesn't matter but beware if you live somewhere where theft might be an issue.



Setup was easy with the color coded speaker system.

I also set up only as a 5.1 system and used a rocketfish transmitter to make the rear surround speaker wireless.

HDMI input and output simplifies connecting other devices.



Although I am not an audiophile by any stretch, I think the sound is amazing for both cable TV watching and blu-ray movies. Have not tested it with games.

It has a nice feature to emphasize center speaker to hear the voice dialog better which is useful to watch at night movies where the explosions and music tend to be much louder than voice without constantly adjusting the volume.



Housed in a cabinet with the front door open and about 6 inches clearance on top, the unit does get hot with blu-ray movies but have not noticed any problems with stuttering. Doesn't heat up significantly with ipod or regular TV watching.



Overall a great buy if you already have a blu-ray player.

Great Starter Set by P. Rodriguez
Skip the HT-s7300. This is a great receiver and sounds amazing when watching videos; however music not so much.



The speakers sound great and the video upscale looks great for all my stuff. Remember that with DVD's though they will never look as good as blu.



I just wish it had more features; no built in HD radio, you have to buy an adapter, no iPod dock, you have to buy that separately.



Another thing I wish Onkyo would have added more than the standard 4 HDMI inputs; and I wish they would stop pre-labeling them on the remote and the controller. I have a PS3, xbox, PC, and DVD player plugged in, and it stinks to have to explain to my wife why the DVD is the DVR and PS3 is on the BD/DVD buttons. Xbox is on games...



Overall I would give this 3 or 4 stars, I was just expecting more, but the quality of the speakers and overall performance for videos is great, and just so you know, COD MW2 is stunning on this system.



I would definitely keep the speakers for future systems but I will look into replacing the receiver in the next year or two.
