Hey guys,
I'm having a really annoying issue with my Onkyo 509. I was watching The Dark Knight Rises on blur ray the other day and the hiss that was coming from the speakers during the softer scenes was soooooo distracting. I've had this avr for well over a year and i've never really noticed that much hiss coming from the speakers. I've read that this is a common issue with the 509, and being its not a high end or even mid level avr it's understandable to me. I found the hiss gets lower if i turn off the 2EQ, so thats what I have it set to now.
Is this an issue you should take into consideration when buying an avr? I'm looking to upgrade in the near future and I just want to know if I'm gonna get an annoying hiss like i do with my 509. Its really annoying and Im willing to pay more if I know I wont get a hiss. I dont listen at really high volumes either. Are there any brands I should avoid because of this issue? My budget will be between $500-800. All i want is clean power and MultEQ or its equal in brands that dont have audyssey.
I have a polk cs20, 2 tsi 500s and 2 tsi 200s fyi.
Thanks guys!
