quote: Uhm, why would Onkyo replace their 805 with a worst-sounding amp? Mine sounds amazing... I've heard both the 805 and 806 on my set-up, as I was going to buy an 805 originally -- I can't tell them apart. quote: More power, more inputs, custom source names, nicer looking, better sound, 1080p upscaling and THX certified. Well worth it. I had a 605 originally that was practically the same as the 606, and the 806 blows it out of the water. | |

Personally i would look at the cheaper Onkyo 805 as i think it sounds a little better and smoother, perhaps due to Burr DACs (and older/better power supply) instead of the Cirrus Logic DACs found in the 806. | |

quote:Definitely get this Onkyo and Kef setup :thumbs: I have an Onkyo amp and Kef egg speakers (all be them the models below the ones shown on the links) with QED speaker cable and the sound is awesome! :D Was only about £700 at the time but it's definitely the best money I've spent on AV equipment so far! | |

Here's my Onkyo TX-SR806 (in black so it cost £100 more than silver): | |

We got a full Panasonic set up a few years ago, including Viera LCD TV, DVD Surround Sound and DVD Freeview Recorder. Nothing has gone wrong and can't fault it. | |

quote: Going to do exactly that, its so hard, ive been twoing and throwing what o do. Im going to wait till the 'What Hifi?' AV exhibition is on at Bristol shortly. I will demo the gear before buying. I've just ordered a new pioneer KRP-500A (top of the range jobby) 50" plasma. The misses is going to go nuts! when she see's it. I saw a similar model in currys (i know i know), which was whe LX5090 and it was immense. I cant find a single bad review on the Kuros, they really are dominating the market in terms of quality. | |

best bet is to get over onto Avforums and ask on there, plus spending that sort of cash it actually might be worth demo'ing the gear before purchasing - local hifi shops (eg seven oaks) might be able to do deals. | |

I'm looking to purchase a home cinema system to compliment my tv and sky hd units. I'm not looking for anything bulky, just simple yet powerful for the money. Anyone have any recommendations? |
