Product Information
The Onkyo TX-NR6100 has a tremendous balance of power, control and features.
Premium home cinema – guaranteed by THX
Extensively tested, the Onkyo TX-NR6100 meets THX Select2 Certification. THX are a Californian company founded by George Lucas of Star Wars fame. To gain THX approval, products are bench tested to a rigorous level, covering every aspect of audio performance. Only a handful of products gain the THX certification, making it a true badge of honour for any home cinema product.
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and DTS Neural:X for cinematic sound
Carrying on this Onkyo AVR’s cinematic appeal, it’s compatible with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Both formats use ceiling or upward firing speakers to deliver an immersive, multi-dimensional sound. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X make an overhead aircraft sound frighteningly realistic or a tropical storm a drenching experience. DTS Neural:X upmixes non-DTS:X signals, giving you a similarly enveloping sound with other sources.
Get the Atmos or DTS:X effect, without the extra speakers
It's not always possible to accommodate Atmos or DTS:X height speakers, which is when Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X come in handy. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers. DTS Virtual:X also creates a more enveloping sound from any DTS codec. Compatible with 2, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configurations, DTS Virtual:X gives a greater impression of height and immersive sound.
Klipsch Optimise Mode
Unique to Onkyo, the TX-NR6100 sounds even better when partnered with Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere speakers. Collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the implementation of precise crossover vales being incorporated into the Onkyo. This means that you get optimised sound quality, at the touch of a button.
Enhanced 8K HDMI compatibility
Upgrading on previous Onkyo receivers, the TX-NR6100 features three, 8K compatible HDMI inputs and twin outputs (HDMI 2 output in Sub Mode only). They support 8K pass-through, 4K/120Hz and eARC, making them ideal for connecting an 8K TV, the latest games consoles and more. This Onkyo also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3.
Ideal for gamers
As well as suiting 8K TVs, the latest HDMI 2.1 interface also helps give your gaming a boost. This facilitates a range of features, including 4K/120Hz HDR pass-through for ultra-fast motion. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) eliminates lag, stutter, and frame-tearing for fluid gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) optimizes latency from source to screen and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) limits lag for a smoother experience. Put together, they give you a massive gaming advantage.
Highly capable music streamer
Much more than just an AV receiver, the TX-NR6100 is also a fully comprehensive music streamer. From Apple AirPlay 2 to Chromecast and taking in ‘Works with Sonos’, this Onkyo AVR has you covered. Direct access to Spotify (Premium account required for full features), Amazon Music HD, TIDAL, Deezer and TuneIn are all available via the Onkyo Control App. There’s even DTS Play-Fi for multiroom expansion, TuneIn for Internet radio and two-way Bluetooth for local music streaming and headphone listening.
Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast
Ideal for Apple users, AirPlay 2 takes this popular wireless streaming format and makes it better. Controllable by simply asking Siri or using your Apple device, AirPlay 2 lets you effortlessly stream music and podcasts around your home – and all in perfect sync. Chromecast lets you stream music, podcasts and audio apps, including Google Play, at the touch of a button.
Voice control
The Onkyo TX-NR6100 works seamlessly with your Smart Home ecosystem. Control via Siri when using Apple Airplay. Alternatively, connect to a suitable Smart speaker and the receiver then also works with Alexa and the Google Assistant.
Works with Sonos

Once connected to a compatible Sonos product (Sonos Port), you can group the receiver with other Sonos devices or use it independently. Working with Sonos means as soon as you start playing music from your Sonos app, the Onkyo switches on and automatically selects the correct input.
DTS Play-Fi for effortless streaming and multi-room
DTS Play-Fi is a premium, wireless control system that brings everything under one 'roof'. Download the free app and you'll not only have access to Internet radio but also popular music apps such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and Napster. As well as bringing all your streaming sources together, Play-Fi offers the potential for full multi-room music. Simply add other Play-Fi compatible sources and you'll quickly be able to build up a comprehensive music system around your home - all under the control of a single app.

As well as the turntable input there are four line level ones – ideal for a CD player, music streamer and other music sources. There are also digital coaxial and optical inputs plus a front-mounted USB for media playback.

”The new Bronze standmounts are beautifully made and terrifically tuned; these are bold, impressive performers that demand your attention.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Bronze 50 – compact and versatile
As the most compact speakers in the Bronze 7G series, the 50s suit a wide range of applications. With their narrow width and discreet design they’re ideal for smaller rooms or even desktop audio installations. They also make a fine choice of speaker for multiroom and home cinema systems. Although small in size, Monitor Audio’s C-CAM drivers ensures expansive and richly-balanced sound that goes deeper than you might expect.
All-new tweeter for smooth and detailed top-end performance
Featuring an all-new, 25mm C-CAM gold dome tweeter, the Bronze 50 7G sounds better than ever at the top end. Delivering the perfect balance of detail with a smooth, uncompressed sound, treble performance is both revealing and yet refined enough for longer listening sessions not to become tiring.
Masterful in the mid-range
Pairing with the tweeter is a similarly all-new woofer design. This C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) model is 6 inches across, optimised for the best balance of bass response and speed. The driver unit makes the Bronze 50 7G’s quick to respond, with articulate vocals and great attack from drums, brass and other instruments. Because of its powerful motor system, with oversized magnets and voice coils, it reaches deeper than it’s size might suggest, with a richly-balanced bass response to complete the all-round excellence.
Part of the Bronze 7G family
If you plan to use the Bronze 50 7G speakers as part of a home cinema system, then the matching Bronze 7G range provide the perfect accompaniment. As well as larger speakers, there’s also a range of centre, wall-mount and Dolby Atmos speakers for complete home cinema heaven. The W10 subwoofers make the ideal partner if you want increased bass depth, without having larger speakers in the room.
New cabinet design, available in a choice of finishes
For the 7G range, Monitor Audio has upgraded the cabinets with plywood front baffles. These help improve cabinet rigidity and also ensure the most solid base for the all-new drivers. The result is ultra-low levels of distortion, for the cleanest sound possible. Available finishes include matte black, white and walnut. The white finish has exposed plywood at the sides for contrast, while the black and walnut use a black stained real wood veneer for the baffle.

Complete a Bronze home cinema

A range of perfectly matched finishes completes the harmonious design.

With its smooth and detailed balance, it’s ideal for crisp vocal reproduction. The new woofer design features oversized magnets and voice coils, helping to sustain the most impactful soundtracks and special effects.
Part of the Bronze 7G family
As part of the Bronze 7G family, there’s a wide range of matching home cinema speakers available. For the front channel, you can choose between bookshelf and floorstanding speakers.

Designed for uncompromising bass impact, delivered with clarity, the Monitor Audio Vestra W12 transforms your listening experience.
Deep bass from a sub that’s easy to place
The Monitor Audio Vestra W12 is the brand’s mid-size Vesta subwoofer and is perfect for using in medium-sized rooms. Featuring a 12 inch cone, driven by an impressive 500 watt amplifier, it effortlessly reaches down to the lowest notes for cinematic rumble. Although powerful, the sealed cabinet makes this sub room-friendly, as the port-less cabinet can be placed anywhere in your room. With three pre-set DSP modes and a range of other controls, it’s easy to customise the sound to your exact preferences. Choose between black or white finishes for the style that best suits your room.
C-CAM technology for deeper, punchy bass
Featuring Monitor Audio’s renowned C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium Magnesium) driver technology, the Vestra W12 hits harder. The cone material is lightweight and resistant to flex, making it ideal for fast, punchy bass with ultra-low levels of distortion. The high excursion driver is instrumental in helping this sub reach the lowest notes – right down to a ground-shaking 17Hz.
Mighty power – 500 watt amp built in
Keeping the mighty bass under tight control is a similarly hefty, high current Class-D amplifier. With around 500 watts of clean power to hand, it has little trouble in keeping the bass cone in check. It also gives the sub the potential for party-level volumes, without placing additional strain on your main amplifier.
Customise the sound – with three pre-set EQ modes
With Music, Movie and Impact modes you can easily change the characteristics of the subwoofer to match your mood. For the most subtle sound, choose Music. A more dynamic sound can be achieved with the Movie mode, making it ideal for the most intense action movies. If you're in party mode and want to maximise the bass beat, then switch to Impact for the most powerful sound possible.
Easy to tailor to your system and room
As well as the three pre-set EQ, the Vestra W12 has a range of controls to enable seamless integration with your system and room. For system flexibility, you can connect via stereo RCA or LFE RCA inputs. Dedicated volume and frequency controls allow for smooth pairing with your existing speakers. A 0/180 degree switch configures the sub for front or rear room placement. Finally, a 12 Volt trigger socket makes it easy to incorporate the subwoofer into a home automation system.
