Onkyo sr605.....

[adas Pro Seller]

I have a SR701, and a 501, and I love both to death. The 700 series are great, I'm thinking of getting a 705, maybe a 805 next, but I don't see much need to. They work amazing with my Polk RTi12's(bi-amped, woofers off 100w on seperate amp) and rest of the system, and really have great sound quality, just with movies, or crankin music. But they do give off a LOT of heat lol.

Nothin wrong with a 605, it should be close to my 701 with all the updates they've made in the fast few years. The only

The 605 rocks, 700 series are just baller:fro:

even working for magnolia, i dont think that the denons in that price range really stand up to the 605. hell i would even consider getting a 605 at normal price.
if i were you i would pull that trigger. just curious, what speakers are you running.

right now I have my old Onkyo with all KLH speakers front, center, surround.

I am looking at the Boston VR2 front towers, and VRC center channel. I am headed to circuit city tomorrow to give them a listen before I buy them. Then in a month or so I will get some surrounds and a sub. (really thinking about building my own HT sub enclosure and dropping a plate amp and sub in it)

any speaker suggestions??? I want some nice Tower speakers.... no satelite speakers.

well said, I also think there reliability is great. come to think of it, the only thing I DON'T like is the heat mine produces.
I usually call it my little space heater. cant argue about the power or the sound quality though.

Little space heater?

Try owning a Plasma TV... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I think my LCD being right by my thermostat is why my AC runs 24/7... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

ngsm13, what size and manufacturer is your LCD. I only ask, because my HP doesnt get hot at all.

 

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

I mean, it's not "HOT"...

It does give off heat all the while it's on though... not as much as EhRon's Plasma though...

Mine is a 37" Olevia.

I got mine for $499 for a 37" HD LCD about a year ago...

I love it, can't be beat for the price... even almost a year later.
