We have predicted that the Onkyo 607 (the 507's big brother) will comfortably outsell all other Home Cinema amps this year. We're pretty confident with that prediction, but if we're wrong, then it will probably be because the 607 is pipped to the post by none other than the 507! If that does indeed turn out to be the case, then the reason is likely to be that many customers will look at the 607 and be gobsmacked by what it will do - but then decide that they don't actually need all it has to offer. They will reason that they don't have 6 HDMI sources, so they don't need 6 HDMI inputs. They will reason that they only intend to have 5 speakers in the lounge, so they don't need a 7 channel receiver. And they will certainly question why they need an expensive scaler onboard, when all their sources (e.g. Sky HD, Blu-Ray, upscaling DVD and PS3) already output at 1080 lines resolution. In all these cases, the customers will conclude that there is no point paying for facilities they will never use, so they will opt for the 507, which is pretty similar to the 607, but nearly £200 cheaper. In doing so, they will get what is undoubtedly the bigest bargain of this Home Cinema season - a great sounding amp, with 5 channels of 130 watts, True HD sound, 4 HDMI inputs, plus a special port for connection (via single cable) to an optional DAB tuner or iPod dock. Last year, Onkyo were number one in the sales charts, taking a record 30% share of the UK Home Cinema amp market. The 507 and 607 are so good, that if anything, I think they will do even BETTER this year! less info
