The Onkyo TX-8470 is a modern two-channel hi-fi receiver designed for music lovers who want the perfect balance of power, streaming convenience and analog refinement. Built around a clean, high-current Class-D amplifier, the TX-8470 delivers 110 watts per channel with excellent dynamic headroom, ensuring effortless control of bookshelf or floorstanding loudspeakers. Its expressive, open soundstage and firm low-end presence make it a compelling centerpiece for any stereo system.

An audiophile-grade ESS Sabre DAC handles digital sources with precision, offering clarity, tonal purity and low noise. Whether streaming high-resolution music or playing lossless files from local sources, the receiver preserves micro-detail and instrumental texture. The midrange is open and natural, while the treble is smooth, extended and free from harshness. Bass remains tight and controlled, giving music weight without sacrificing articulation.
