Onkyo HT-S9100THX – Exquisite High-definition Surround Sound Reproduction
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010The Onkyo HT-S9100THX is the first THX I/S Plus Certified system to handle full high-definition processing of 1080p video and the master quality of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
What makes the Onkyo shiny and new is the “integrated system” part of the title. The Onkyo HT S9100THX is an all-in-one system with components—speakers, A/V receiver, etc.—that are designed, tested, and certified to work together, and I mean that literally. These speakers and receiver are equalized to work with one another, but not with other components.
Longtime THX buffs may point out that other THX-certified products are also designed to work together. But they are intended to be reasonably interchangeable; they aren’t necessarily designed and sold together as a dedicated single system. With this Onkyo model, you get all your THX joy in one box. THX further specifies that its I/S Plus system will functions at a viewing (and presumably listening) distance of 8 feet.
Audyssey’s licensed contribution to the system is the 2EQ automatic setup and room-correction system. It measures the system’s acoustic output at two listening positions, which allows more than one listener to enjoy equalized fine-tuning. Another version of Audyssey, MultEQ, measures from six positions. Most one-brand proprietary room-correction systems measure from only one position. So 2EQ might be the happy medium for a budget product like this one.
Finally, the system’s HDMI 1.3a output is graced by Faroudja DCDi video processing, which is a well-known picture smoother and jaggie killer. This version of HDMI also enable the system to give a full panoply of surround codecs, including the new lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It also has their improved (and underrated) lossy cousins, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio.
So whatever input you put –whether gaming, movies, broadcasts, or music–the Onkyo HT-S9100THX draws on a reservoir of precise amplification power to make a breathtaking home entertainment experience. With video upscaling, revolutionary audio equalization and acoustic treatment technologies, and integrated control with leading display brands, the HT-S9100THX is a fail-safe solution for most home environments.
