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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

quote: Not sure about Jamos, haven't heard any of their recent stuff but last set of floorstanders, 407s?, lacked in bass and generally produced a muddy sound. They are certainly better than what they used to be in the 90s but they still have a long way to go. csweatherston - Pretty decent price that, you saved yourself 20-30 quid or so which isn't too bad. Did you manage to get them to chuck in any cabling (speaker, phonos etc)? Eitherway, get some pics up when you get the gear and the setup :thumbs: Just a note, don't run the system hard off the bat, let them run in (mainly for the rubber surround on the cones) for a few weeks. Also they will change sound slightly once you put some hours on them. [Edited on 10-11-2009 by Dom] | |

well, spoke to richer sounds today. | |

quote: The Denon is similar to the 606 rather than the 607 (has a few extra HDMI ports and a few other bits over the 1910). But yeah, the 1910 is a good amp and gets decent reviews although it is roughly £50-100 more than the 607. | |

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

quote: tbh there is little difference between the 606 and 607 (two extra HDMI ports on the 607 etc), so it might be worth going for the 606 if cash is tight as you can pick them up for around the £300 mark (cheapest i've seen the 607 is £360). Another speaker choice would be the Tannoy F1 Customs (if you can still find a set), they are absolutely fantastic and look spot on. If you look on the AVForums Classifieds you might be able to pick a set for under £500. And Sevenoaks, >HERE<. Ring up before hand and see what they have in store, if you're after something they will usually order it in for you. | |

quote: Yeah of course, although note that AV amps (certainly in this price range) tend to offer a fairly straight-forward and balanced sound, which is great for films but tend to be a little harsh when playing stereo sources. On the speaker front, Mordaunt Short Alumni 5.1 are also worth a looking. It might be worth seeing if you can get a listen to a few speaker packages with the 607, either at richersounds or somewhere like Sevenoaks (i know there are a few stores near you, exeter, poole, plymouth etc) as they tend to have solid listening rooms and stock a wide range of gear, plus they've always done me deals in the past that beat what Richersounds could offer. | |

Ideal! | |

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). | |
