What home theater to buy - Blu-ray Forum

Irishwiseguy2006 · 10-17-2007, 08:17 PM

I am looking to buy a good surround system to buy. I have the PS3. I see alot of people talking about Onkyo and wonder if there are other opinions. What watts is my best bet? Im trying to stay around $300-$400. Please help.

Ive been seriously checkin out the onkyo 605, it seems to offer alot for a competitive price. Someone in our family also has a onkyo receiver and they love it.

i just bought this set up, for $450 it is one hell of a deal for 7.1 HDMI receiver plus sub + 7 speakers

get the onkyo. Either the 505 or the 605. It just depends on your budget. I, myself bought the 705 and it is awesome with my tiny Jamo speakers. I bought the amp now but it 1 month i am getting the Klipsch full 7.1 reference in-walls.

Thanks...That Onkyo SR800 looks like a nice set up. I work for Sirius Satelite radio and would really benefit form that Theater.

nop hdmi inputs. Meaning no lossless audio from the ps3.

youre best bet is getting either:

Onkyo TX-SR605 ($400)

Sony STR-DG910 ($330)

the 505 doesn not accept hdmi audio. You would need an optical cable for sound.

...the 605 is an excellent system.
