I've had 3 Onkyo's now (605, 606 and 806) and they've all been superb. If you're considering the 607 I'd go for the 806, as it's only a tiny bit more expensive but the sound quality is a lot more impressive. I had the 606 and upgraded to the 806, and the difference really surprised me.

lol. theres no chance of pics yet. it looks like a bombsite!
currently in the cabling stage but once its all tucked away ill get some pics.

ideally <£100 on bookshelfs.. thought about the mordaunt short 902's as they would keep in theme with the alumni's then.

eek... i feel ive gone a bit overkill.

i cant find anywhere to place the speakers, the subs just sat in the middle of the room.

but the volume is unreal!. watched apocalypto last night..it was insane

beg your pardon, yes I did mean 2310.

Yes you can get the QA2000 less than £500 in walnut/graphite but not gloss black. Depends which finish you want :thumbs:

He's already got the gear and tbh there isn't a lot in it between the Q Acoustics, Mordaunt Shorts, KEFs etc Although if they're anything like the Tannoy F1s then i'm impressed as they sounded absolutely spot on when driven with a load of Cyrus Mono X's from an AV Master.

Also i'm guessing you mean the 2310? As from what i remember the 2010 is a BD player (with what was essentially a panasonic transport).

And yes Denon do tend to be brighter, and don't get me wrong as Denon's are brilliant (have a PMA250mk3, 15-16years old still going strong and sounds brilliant), but it can end up sounding a little harsh if you don't match them to the right speakers - this was certainly the case with a 1910 powering a set of M-Cubes.

btw, the Q Acoustics 2000s can be had for well under £500 if you look about.

and btw, im literally just about to buy the Q Acoustics 2000 cinema package and denon 2010 reciever, you wont get any better for the money.

Speaker, you should be looking at Q Acoustics, the 1000 series cinema package (5.1), which has been reduced from £550 to £350 to make way for the new 2000 series.
If you want to burn more money, then get the 2000 series at £550.

AV reciever, you should be looking at the denons as they have a brighter sound to match the speakers. something like the 1910 minimum (a great entry level reciever) or 2310 if you can push for an extra £300 to spend.

Theres also a reason why the Q Acoustics are winning awards in all the <£1000 speaker catagories.

Prefer the 1910 to the Onkyo 607 tbh, feature wise its very similar but it looks a million times better.

Im now torn between the 507/606/607 lol

the mordaunt alumni speakers dont float my boat, they look a bit too modern as with the kef's.
i like a classic looking speaker.

Where abouts is sevenoaks in plymouth?.

im hopefully going to pop over to ets tomorrow as they have a demo bose 2.1 which supposidly sounds better than most 5/7.1 setups.

Yup, HDMI sources (ps3, BD Player etc) to the 607, then 607 to your panny :thumbs: As for speaker packages, the KEF KHT2005.3 are meant to be awesome for the price, likewise the Q Acoustics 1010i (both around the 500-600 bracket).

hi.. just need a little bit of help?

Currently my setup is:

panasonic 42pz800b plasma (wall mounted)
I then have the ps3 and my laptop connected via hdmi to the TV.

From there the tv was connected via phono's to my old sony hifi.... which just blew up :o

if i was to get: http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/onkyo/txsr607/onky-txsr607

would i then connect the ps3 and laptop into the Amp?.. then from the amp to the tv?

Also, can anyone recommend a good 5.1 speaker package <£600??
I cant justify anymore than £1k this close to xmas.

many thanks

Callum
