Onkyo 606 VS. Onkyo 705 - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Mr. Cinema · 04-26-2008, 02:39 PM

I would be interested in the 606, but only if it runs cooler than the 605, which I've heard runs very hot.

You know what I've done to help the heat situation? Turned my Targus laptop cooler upside down and have the two fans draw out the heat from the vents at the top of my Onkyo. When I first tried this I didn't think it was going to work very well, but it actually works very well, to my surprise.

A 606 is on my "To Buy" list as soon as they're released... anyone know about when we can expect it????

let me throw this in. wow, i just looked at this receiver. what a nice one:http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/p...DETYP=RELATION

ixlegitballinxl · 04-27-2008, 10:11 PM

605 is not known for running hot...not based on the reviews i've seen...or the one i have in my setup.......amazon has the 606 for 499....not in stock though

nezff · 04-27-2008, 10:12 PM

the only thing i read bad about the Yamaha RX-V663 was the problem with the Blacker than Black.

PeterTHX · 04-28-2008, 07:24 AM

I got to play around with a 606 and...

Get the 705 if you can. Seriously.

ixlegitballinxl · 04-28-2008, 08:22 AM

705 > 606...What about 705 vs 805? lol j/k

nezff · 04-28-2008, 12:39 PM

have you guys looked at the yamaha rxv663?

im thinking I might just wait until something big comes out and then upgrade. 10 watts more per channel wonts do me any good anyway.

So check out the TX-SR805.
THX Ultra2 certifiation, 130 Wattsx7. $679 with free shipping from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR805...9392359&sr=8-1

MSRP was $1099

Uses high end PCM1796 Burr Brown DAC's like the 875 and 905, which to find in other manufacturer's receivers you have to jump up to the $5,000 Yamaha RX-Z11 and $5,000 Denon 5308CI.

is there an 806 coming out?

dobyblue · 04-28-2008, 06:56 PM

I'm sure there is, but if you want to wait for it to hit those prices, we'll see you at this time next year.

true. when the 806 comes out, it will be no telling how much.

the move from the 605 to the 805 would be money well spent i think. doby do you know of any problems with the 805, like firmware updates?

Sith · 04-28-2008, 07:25 PM

if you have a ps3 is the 605 going to be able to do everything that the
other one's will for less? Probably can swing the 605 for my birthday
next week..

pretty much, yeah, but the 805 just has more power and some more little perks.

You wanna buy my 605?
