In the market to amp my system ! Onkyo 606 with BOSTON speakers , most setups I see that have amps have speakers with 4 terminals on back ! my bostons only have 2 , will this work with my system or not . JJ has mentioned Emotiva as A good amp, I found the UPA-7 for $600.
ANY & ALL INPUT WILL HELP THANKS !!!

Will the 606 preprocess?

crazyBLUE · 11-17-2008, 01:57 AM

Explain preprocess ! AUDIO is not my expertese

A preprocessor would do your audio decoding/processing and your amplifier only provides power. For a receiver to act as a prepro, it would need preouts.

The Yamaha V663 has them, but I don't think the 606 does.

looks like there is a l/r analog output to amp & one for sub but my sub has one
l/r is for zone 2 ...--sub is pre out

You need a 706 or above - there are no preouts on the 606.

OK ! Bigger reciever === new toy ! Are my speakers compatable with only 2 imputs on back !!!

JasonR · 11-17-2008, 02:25 AM

The extra inputs are for biamping/biwiring. Something completely different, so yes...
