I then got the A-9010, and love that int/amp, and still have it. I've got a Schiit Vidar/Saga amp/preamp in my main listening room now, and it's more powerfull than the 9010, but the 9010 does sound more livelier and sweeter really, and I'm always thinking of putting the 9010 back in the main spot, and putting the Schiit system back with my computer, where the 9010 is at now. I recently sold my Onkyo TX-8255 to a friend that wanted something to hook to his big screen TV for better sound. Well I seen this TX-8020, which is an updated version of the 8255, and thought what the heck I can always use a receiver with a AM/FM tuner around the place, so I bought it, and at $119 it's a real steal. I've got it setup in my smaller computer room with a pair of NHT SuperZero 2.1 speakers, and it sounds fantastic. I'm going to get a pair of NHT SuperOne 2.1 speakers to go with it for a little more bass. In a smaller room the Onkyo 8020, and the NHT Zeros or Ones are a hard combo to beat. I tend to listen to music more in my computer room now with the Onkyo/NHT system. I plan on putting the 8020 in service with my computer, and using the 9010 with the NHT Ones as my extra computer room system, and it maight become the main system really, because I can get better sound in my computer room. Update 8-3-2019: I've got a pair of Elac UB5's hooked to the TX-8020. The Elacs are known for for needing a good amount of power to drive, but the 8020 is handling good so far. The Elacs are 4 ohm, and the 8020 is not rated for 4 ohm as far as I know, but I've got the volume is set at about 63, and the Elacs are playing pretty loud in my computer room which is 16x16. The top of the 8020 is getting pretty hot with the Elacs playing at high volume. Update 8-9-2019: Got the Onkyo TX-8020 hooked to a pair of Elac UB5's and a DOT 2nd gen that is hooked to the Onkyo with a 3.5mm to RCA splitter streaming desertcart prime music, SiriusXM, and Spotify, and have Bluetooth from my PC going to the Dot to play audio from the computer. Man, what a Jukebox. Modern times suck in a lot of ways, but we got great music options. Love it! Update 8-10-2019: Just moved my TX-8020 to my computer with a AudioQuest Dragonfly Red DAC and Cambridge Audio SX-50 speakers, and it sounds fantastic. I have a Onkyo A-9010 integrated Amp that I had hooked to my computer, but it's sound quality is better, It's one hell of an int/amp. I moved the 9010 to the other side of the computer room with the Elac UB5's, and it handles the 4ohm Elacs better, and runs cooler. Don't get me wrong, the TX-8020 is a steal, and it sounds amazing. I could be totally happy with just the 8020, it's great, plus it has FM radio, and I get pretty good reception with it. If somebody asked me what stereo to get with the best sound for the best price, I'd say the Onkyo TX-8020 and the NHT SuperOne 2.1 bookshelf speakers. That'll give you a real Hi-Fi sound for not much money. Review: A must have for the budget minded audio enthusiast! - Very clean sounding stereo receiver that pairs well with Klipsch Reference Series speakers. Lots of detail and spacious sound is present when using this receiver and it works great for digital music. It is very comparable to Harman Kardon and is actually better in sound and performance. I previously owned a Harman Kardon and loved it but the price to get a new one turned me onto Onkyo as I am a little tight on funds these days. The functionality is very easy and straight forward along with just the right amount of power to fill my medium sized living room with balanced bass, mids, and highs in total clarity even at higher volumes. I love the fact that the speaker terminals are designed for banana plugs! I can't say anything about the radio tuner as I do everything digital and stream on desertcart Prime. As for the complaints on here about the receiver getting hot I have not experienced this.with mine. I have been an audio enthusiast, borderline audiophile since I was 5 years old thanks to my Dad. I am currently 34 and have learned a lot about audio since then. One thing I have learned is receivers need lots of breathing room, especially ones that do not have fan systems in them. I give mine a 4 inch clearance on the top to allow maximum heat dissipation. It runs fairly cool with this clearance even with extensive use at moderate volumes. I highly recommend other owners do this if theirs are running hot. Also make sure to use the correct gauge wire for the footage you are utilizing. Using the wrong gauge wire will also cause the receiver to run hot. I recommend using no less than a 16 gauge wire for any tower speaker (floor standing speaker) setup. Rule of thumb, the farther the speakers are apart, the thicker the wire used. If the speaker is designed to be bi-amped (four terminals on back of speaker) then I strongly suggest at least 14 gauge if you do not bi-amp them. ## Features - 50 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08%THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC) - WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology).

Can you only power one set at a time or can you have both on for a surround set-up?** A: The Speaker A and B buttons on the front individually turn on or off either set of speakers. You can turn both A and B on at the same time for a setup you describe, although it won't be actual surround, as this is a stereo receiver that only supports left/right, not 5.1 or 7.1 surround **Q: Does this come with a FM antenna.** A: Yes, it comes with both an AM antenna and an FM antenna. **Q: How many speakers can I hook up to this receiver. I have 8 including subwoofer** A: you can only hook up 4 speakers to this stereo, ch a left and right, and ch b left and right and a sub woofer, make sure the speakers are 8 ohms **Q: Is there a remote control with this unit?** A: Yes - and it controls everything except the speaker, A or B, selected. It includes a 'Remote Interactive' jack on the back, permitting connection to a 'RI' supporting accessory, like my Onkyo C7030 CD Player - which came with the interconnect cable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, if you love to listen to music. *by W***N on July 21, 2019* I'll confess, I'm an Onkyo fan.

Some of the features I like are sleep timer, dimmer, tone and direct modes. The receiver having a dimmer is great for when you have a equipment stack near your TV and find the brightness of the display distracting when you're watching a movie. It has bright, middle dim, and low dim. I almost always use the low dim at nighttime as it's less distracting. The button on the remote is easy to find in the dark so you can switch back to bright mode if adjustments are needed on the receiver. The tone and direct modes are useful, for me at least, are in two different situations. I have my stereo hooked up to my desktop computer for audio. In this instance, if I am listening to music through my media player, I use the direct mode on the receiver. This is because I have a better equalizer on the computer than the bass and treble controls on the stereo. So I bypass these circuits and just use my EQ on my computer. But I use the tone mode while watching TV, as this is usually the only controls I have. I've also used the direct and tone controls to fine tune the bass and treble controls in tone mode, with the ability to compare the tone mode versus direct mode. Something I find lacking the the features is the way that the balance controls are. There are no balance controls on the remote, only on the receiver itself. This is a really stupid way to have the balance controls, as to me, it's much easier to balance the receiver at a distance, using the remote than going to the listening position and then running back to the receiver to change the controls, and back to the listening area to test that setting. Other than that, it's a great receiver. No distortion ever noticed, easy set up, and does what it's supposed to do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1156146-onkyo-tx-8020-2-channel-stereo-receiver](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1156146-onkyo-tx-8020-2-channel-stereo-receiver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
