More Onkyo Questions! - Blu-ray Forum

Driver_King · 04-27-2008, 05:03 PM

Alright, I have an Onkyo HT-SR800 and of course it came with a sub. Do you think Onkyo would sell me another one. I want a 7.2 setup and want to upgrade to an Onkyo TX-SR805. I really want to get the reciever from Ecost because it's the best price and they say it has Onkyo's one-year warantee, plus their's. If Onkyo wouldn't sell me the matching sub, where else could I find one?

Driver_King · 04-27-2008, 05:37 PM

Any suggestions? I really want that extra sub. I really don't know where I should get it. I'm really

right now because Twister is coming on Blu really soon (preordered) plus GTA IV is coming out in <2 days!

Driver_King · 04-27-2008, 06:12 PM

Is the 805 really worth $100 more than the 705?

Cwoodall334 · 04-27-2008, 09:06 PM

This is probably going to sound dumb, especially since I have the 805, but can the 805 even support 2 subs?

you have to use a "y" connector to split the signal to use more than 1 sub-woofer

I would reccoment the Yamaha V663. Its 7.2 with DTS HD MA and TrueHD.

You have a 605 right now right?

ixlegitballinxl · 04-27-2008, 11:44 PM

higher up you go on the onkyo tx series...the more watts per channel, more hdmi inputs ( from 605 to 705/805) 705/805 are more similar then the 605... ( 805 is huge, need big space for it to avoid overheating) 605 doesnt matrix 5.1 to 7.1 but the 705/805 does... 605 has 2 hdmi in/1 out... 705/805 has 3 hdmi in/1 out.....just depends on what you have in your current system and how many watts per channel you need....you can hook 2 subs up by using a Y..but there is only 1 line in for subs on the receiver

Driver_King · 04-27-2008, 11:56 PM

Yeah, I know you'd have to have a splitter. How much is that Yamaha?

No...I don't.

Driver_King · 04-28-2008, 12:02 AM

Ok, so what's better? An Onkyo 805 or that Yamaha V663?

Yamaha is cheaper. Lol look whos helping who now!

805 but i wouldnt trust ecost.com they have the worst reviews ive seen in awhile.s

Driver_King · 04-28-2008, 12:31 AM

Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's better. I do understand that the 805 is aging though. I've also heard that it deinterlaces the picture to 720P which isn't really good for PQ. What are any reasonable differences between the two?

Driver_King · 04-28-2008, 12:33 AM

Hey Blu_Haze, you got the 605 and BIC Acoustics, eh? How's it performing for you? Does it have enough "boom boom" for you?

Blu Haze · 04-28-2008, 12:39 AM

Yet to set them up. Havent gotten everything y,et

Driver_King · 04-28-2008, 12:51 AM

Oh, ok. Where did you get your 605 from? Did you get you 7.1 speakers either?

ixlegitballinxl · 04-28-2008, 01:34 AM
