Yep, it is as big a 65 wpc receiver as you may find! Very, very nice sounding (written as I gaze over at my TX-5000 and TX-8500 Mk II).
The Onkyos are kinda like undiscovered treasures.
I'd like to hear your listening thoughts after you've had a chance to give 'er a listening.

I just bought a TX-61 on ebay for $51 - haven't got it yet, but it's a biggie too, 60 watts/channel - I used to have one a couple of years ago and was sorry I got rid of it - I think I sold it because I had to stand on my head to change a couple of light bulbs and then the little rubber holders for the lights crumbled to pieces - it was a hassle - but it's one of the more colorful and unique receivers out there - I just hope the seller was right and all the lights work!!! As I recall it doesn't sound a whole lot different than the TX-5000.
I'm going to put it into action in a day or two and I'll post my findings. It's going to be fun comparing this to some Dynaco tube gear and a large pile of Marantz units.

I recall hearing some Onkyo gear at a shop near Copper Mountain, CO when I was at a conference (no place for a flat-lander like me) and recall that they did sound very good. At that time I had never heard of the marque and was impressed.Rob
