Blu Ray Audio? - Blu-ray Forum

Turnyface · 01-09-2009, 05:34 PM

I currently have a PS3 and a Full HD television. I am wanting to take advantage of the blu ray player's audio capabilities with a home theater. Thus, I am asking anyone if they know of a home theater that will playback full blu ray potential on a modest budget, say 4-5 hundred dollars. Any suggestions?

DC_Street · 01-09-2009, 05:38 PM

not possible in that price range, the receiver alone costs that much

Turnyface · 01-09-2009, 05:46 PM

Ok, forget about price, it is negligible. What do you recommend as a good system for blu ray audio?

Do you have speakers allready?

I have nothing sound wise. I have a TV - Samsung LN40a650 and PS3.

You MIGHT, and that is a big might be able to find an Onkyo HTIB in the $500-$700 range...

This will get you there for around $630. If you shop around you would probably be able to find better deals, too.

well the ps3 will do pcm and almost every home theater system will handle it. I have a phillips 2.0 system in my room and it handles pcm so i get hd audio. Just search for a htib that has pcm and your good to go

Sony STR-DG720 $300
Polk RM6750 $200

lol u could go onkyo606($350)+RMs6750($175) @ frys.com thats right in his budget.

i got my setup for onky606$313+polk speakers ($360) for 670... a bit over his budget

Djnx · 01-09-2009, 07:46 PM

Onkyo HT-S6100
http://www.us.onkyo.com/model.cfm?m=...ss=Systems&p=i

And no offense, but 2.0 is not taking full advantage of Blu-ray.

JamesKurtovich · 01-09-2009, 07:53 PM

At such a small size, can the Polk RM6750's deliver a powerful sound? I know they're good quality... but I also want something with power.

he said he wanted to take advantage of Blu-Ray audio, getting a cheap HTiB isn't going to get him the actual feel of the movie and at that price range that is really all you can get. A cheap receiver and small speakers

just my two cents

Either the Onkyo 606 or Sony 720 w/ the Polk 6750s sounds like a great upgrade on your budget.

They're a few Sony receivers around 300-500 range that decode all the HD audio codecs offered on Blu. Not sure the model. Buy a 2.1 setup first. Your receiver, two speakers, and a small sub. That might land you in the 500-600 range. Any buy the center speaker and surrounds later.

Do you think the Onkyo HT-S6100 HITB system will do everything I am looking for?

It's an excellent start. If you want to upgrade later on, that amp can handle very nice speakers.
