The 8255 replaced a 1980's era Yamaha receiver. I've got a passive subwoofer with no controls, and the Yamaha had a "bass boost" -- the Onkyo does not. I was initially concerned whether the Onkyo would be able to drive the sub. I'm happy to report that it does so very well.
I happen to like classical music, and, unfortunately, the FM classical offerings here are extremely limited. What I've done is "broadcast" classical webcasts using a small transmitter that's normally used with car stereos that don't have an auxiliary input. The Yamaha was marginal -- I had to lock it in the monaural mode. I'm also pleased to report that the Onkyo's FM receiver it terrific -- it works magnificently in both mono & stereo.
The Onkyo 8255 perfectly fits my needs.

Sleek, streamlined design, easy function recognition, clean sound, good power. I bought this specifically for the phono feature and at this price, it's gonna be a hard one to top. Access to it's functions is very easy to understand. I never even opened the manual because everything seemed very logical in design and accessibility. It would be nice if it came with a 3.5 mm adapter for the headphone jack, but I guess that's easily enough to overcome. The air vents make this machine porous and dangerous when it comes to having food and drinks near it. It would also mean that dust has total access to the insides. However, what can one do when it comes to dust?! I accidentally dropped it from 3 feet to the ground and I thought it was done for. It wasn't apparently I got lucky and nothing happened. Still works superbly.
