PS3 + Onkyo SR605 + Speakers; need help =)

[crazy25000]

UPDATE: went to Best Buy yesterday and tested many speakers and configurations.

I realized that 7.1 is a waste of money and space for me. 5.1 would be perfect for my setup, games and Blu-Ray.

Anyone know of a good 5.1 speaker system that would work well with this receiver?

Im hoping to get all of this within a few weeks so I can finally have uncompressed audio. I listed to the difference between compressed and uncompressed, OMG, BIG difference!!

I know alot of people on this forum have had older a/v equipment that they tend
to upgrade when looking at new equipment. Don't let them steer you into the super high end expensive speakers unless you have the cash to do so. Iwould recommend the onkyo HTSP908 you get the who package with the 605 receiver and all the speakers.

Wow, havent seen this before. I didnt even know this came in a HTIB. I noticed you have the PS3 hooked up to this, nice.

I just have to go and see this for myself, know of any retailers that might have this?

Before I buy electronics, I like to test them myself, just a habit

I know that fry's has a setup but I think that circuit city carries onkyo products you can try them.

well I guess it's not worth it unless you add a 2000 dollar 7.1 speaker setup

Thanks for the reply! I guess now I have another reason to go to Frys and Circuit City!

Ive spent a lot of time there this week

I didnt know about that DVD upscaler, thats just a plus since I wasnt really expecting that. Hows the quality of the upscaling?
