Hey Guys,
I just wanted to know what you guys think about this onkyo.

HTIB will not sound as good as if you build the system yourself. As most people are often told, buy piece by piece and you will be happier in the end. Start out with the front three and receiver, next sub and surrounds. That's what i am doing and am quite content thus far.

And if you absolutely must get HTIB, I have heard many good things about the Polk RM6750 paired with an Onkyo receiver. Most people who get HTIB, however, feel the need to upgrade very quickly.

Either your newb or you settle too quickly! lol

I (as many others) upgrade all the time... this hobby quickly turns into a disease

For me it goes in cycles... new TV... new receiver... updated speakers... stand alone BD player... new satalite box... front projection TV... seperate amp... more subs... better furniture... What did I forget??? lol

I do agree tho, It's better to attempt to do it right the first time... then you get whats called the "upgrade bug"

Well, I'm gonna go against the grain here a bit, and say that it's not that bad a deal. The receiver portion had HDMI repeater inputs, DD TrueHD and DTS HD-MA decoding, 7.1 capability etc.. Not a bad deal for a HTIB. You could definitely do worse.

One thing I will agree with here though, the upgrade bug WILL get you. My guess would be that the speakers would be the first item on the list for improvement, over time. But the receiver included could be a decent base for a quality HT over time.

And hey, we all started somewhere.

well i am debating to see if i get the HTIB or if i would get an onkyo TX-sr606 and then just buy some speakers.
