Go with yamaha,the onkyo's run hot. Loys of complaints by other owners with heat issues.

Yahama uses Better High current Transisters and (Burr Brown) Decoders. Many also complain about excess Heat with some Onkyo Receivers, That would concern me about long term Durability.

Well! it may put out audio with in the tv's range & that may suit you just fine. Now ! on the other hand I got the speaker's to add to a Sony surroud system & they drowned out the rest of the speakers also the impedance was not correct. I had to get things in balance now my all Yamaha 7.2 system pushed with Yamaha Reciver the Rx-V676 .The house trembles & that works for me. Pleas note I did this a pair at a time as there are no package deals in the mid range speaker's , seems the stores sell top & bottom stuff around me...have fun what ever way you go.

Steven L, if you read my review of this player, you should know that the other player to which I referred was the Onkyo 7030. I set them up and did an A:B comparison. With most discs, the differences were barely perceptible. On a few, the Yamaha sounded just a tiny bit "muddy" when compared to the Onkyo. My wife was unable to discern any differences. Both are excellent players. But if it helps your decision making process about getting one of these to add to your "stack," be aware that I am returning the Yamaha and getting a 2nd Onkyo.

I have a TX-SR806 ONkyo receiver and wanted to know if a 100 watt subwoofer is good for this? I have (mirage) nano 5.0 speakers and am looking to buy a (klipsch) polk a subwoofer psw10 that puts out 100 watts. thanks

I have used a Denon which is great but I since have upgraded (needed HDMI )to Onkyo and I like the sound that the Onkyo delivers a little better. I used the same polk speakers for both AVR'sThe Onkyo seems a little more bright which I like....sounds more crisp but some people don't like that crisp sound.Both brands are work horses so you can't go bad with either. Onkyo's much higherend Integra is nice also.So

Bose is better I think but If onkyo is a lot cheaper, I'd go only.if similar price, Bose.

HT-R960 - I haven't found any specific information on this receiver at the Onkyo site. The receivers that come with their HTIB units all start with HT I believe which is a different prefix than their stand alone receivers.

The rxa-720 is a awesome receiver. As far as price is concerned I got mines open box but brand new which chopped 200$ off the price. See if u can find that type of deal.

I've read great reviews about Onkyo as a brand for receivers. Although i have a samsung 46" that i'm simply loving right now. the Samsung HT-BD1250 sucked so bad that i'm reluctant to trust Samsung for audio gear. It sure looks good though the new system.The 5300 Onkyo looks more upgrade friendly. But the SR608 is overkill for me so i'm not even going to bother drooling over it.

The Onkyo TX-NR626 is a great amp for all around use and is half price. Just set up a friend with this amp and they love it. I have the Onkyo TX-NR828 but is more money. I am sure the NR626 will do everything you need. You will not be disappointed.

Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qGeztb0N5VY8Y

My last reciever,10yr old sony str825 w 5.1 dolby ,I think,, had more power , but did not have the surround effect as the onkyo .We just love it for movies.. No issues yet with functions.

So after further investigation. The Onkyo 5300 looks even more superior then the Samsung HW-C700 AV Receiver. The remote customizations alone are worth it. It has all the different modes. Paired with a right universal remote (I love my Harmony One) That thing can do some wonders. The Onkyo 5300 looks like a perfect match. Check out the zoomed close up's and see that it has different buttons for modes. Move game. This in essence allows you to setup "Activities" accordingly.Also whats with the weird Sub-In plug on the Samsung is it two?

How does Yamaha RX-V667 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver goes along with this?

I think Sony will confirm - I noticed today the STR-920 is the second best seller behind Onkyo TX606 on Amazon's receiver sales. I will be doing similar with wireless and I have been researching this subject quite a bit lately - I want to be able to send family pictures and ITunes to the receiver by way of my Imac and a wireless - probably go with the Airstream Express - just in research mode now though.

I used to connect these speakers to my 5 year old Onkyo receiver TX-SR606 (90W per channel). It's more than adequate and loud enough. Last year, I upgraded my receiver to Onkyo 818 last that have pre out capability (you need Onkyo 7 series or above to connect your receiver to external amplifier) and use Emotiva XPA-5 amplifier. It's worth the upgrade. Sounds great especially with 24-bit uncompressed recording. It really makes you listen to your old collection once again.
