Htib

[kopkiwi]

Now I know there are a few questions out there already about HTIB but none of them really answer my question, they kinda go off onto alternatives.

I am after a HTIB that can do HDMI over AUDIO. Number of HDMI inputs doesn't bother me as I have switch.

I DO NOT want to piece together my own system, I would rather just get it all in one. Size constraints restrict me from something too big. I don't want to spend anything more than $500-$600.

5.1 or 7.1, doesn't bother me.

I have PS3 so HD audio will pass through.

Any alternatives people would be hugely appreciated.

Here. The Onkyo/ Polk system is a good choice. Get your cables at Monoprice!

Listen to Driver...he won't steer you wrong.Yo will get much better sound from Driver suggestion than any HTIB.

Alright thanks for that. I like the look of those POLKS, I know they are a good brand. I hear also good things about that ONKYO. But say for location problems I can't get hold of either of those two.
How would the Samsung HT-AS720 stack up? Or the Sony 7200DH?

[Driver_King]

Can you get ahold of any Onkyo HTIB? Could you send me the models that cost the most and I'll tell you which is best?

[kopkiwi]

From the looks of it, I can get hold of the Onkyo HT-S5100 and that's bloody it.

[Driver_King]

That really sucks. Looking to upgrade to a standalone player with multichannel outs?

[kopkiwi]

Nope just keeping the PS3.

Does that Onkyo have HDMI audio?

[Driver_King]

No, it doesn't if you're trying to use the PS3 with it.

Ok, I have done some extremely detailed searching of NZ and Aussie and it appears I can get the RM6750 Speakers for a decent enough price.

The receiver is the killer at the moment. Anything else you can suggest, bit cheaper? Has HDMI audio passthrough?

[Driver_King]

Do you have any Yamaha, Pioneer, Marantz, or Denon receivers over there?
