Holiday Gift Ideas: The Onkyo TX-8020 A Great Basic Stereo

If giving the gift of a basic stereo this Christmas, I would consider the Onkyo TX-8020.  It's a 2-channel system capable of about 50 watts per channel which provides nice room-filling sound for most spaces.  Unlike some inexpensive systems, this one gets consistently great reviews.  I also know someone who was very happy using his in a backyard gazebo.  While it was sheltered from the elements in the rafters of the gazebo, the Gazebo Stereo survived changes in temperature and humidity.

Compared to similar systems from Sherwood, Insignia, and Sony, this Onkyo model gets higher reviews on Amazon and simply seems much less problematic. While it's not a surround sound model, the Onkyo TX-8020 would be the perfect gift for a teenager or someone who simply wants a nice sounding receiver for music.

[As of 2024, the choice would be an Onkyo TX-8220 is available on Amazon.]
