New Receiver for UK - Blu-ray Forum

Bonney · 08-01-2007, 07:41 PM

Evening,

After many months of reading the forum i thought it was about time i joined, and started asking my own questions , hehe.

Ive checked the search threads but couldnt seem to find an answer to my question.

Ive been thinking of getting myself a new receiver to go with my 1080p TV and ps3, and from what i hear The onkyo 605 seems to be a quite highly rated and reasonably priced way to go. However in The uk every where seems to be selling them in the £400 region which of course compared to $400 isnt the best conversion around. (even thought of trying to mail it from USA but shipping costs were $180 then coms the problems of if theres something wrong with it).

I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere to get it cheaper in the UK or a cheap place to import it.

Many thanks in advance.

the price is pretty much locked at £399 no matter where you look.

its a nice bit of kit but just make sure you locate it where it can get plenty of air, it does run hot

welcome to bluray.com as well

well, was looking on the amazon.co.uk site and I couldnt find the Onkyo605...

but if youre looking for a new reciever....this one is very comparable (minus the hdmi v1.3)

...but it handles 8 channel PCM, so you can still hear high definition audio...

and for only £275.67
