So I apologize for the delaying a reply to the suggestions...the basement contractor took MUCH longer than i wanted....and only this past weekend could I put the system together...yea months of staring at the dang boxes!!! As mention above: Marantz 6015 Monoprice THX-460T Monoprice THX-365C...

The Atmos monoprice tower versions are on sale...as good as the same without? Got the SR6015 for a sweet deal from a local dealer, just a bit more than that refurb.

Awesome….I found a great deal on a SR5015, would that work as well as the 6014 or 6015?

Wow…ok….so I got some good news today ….getting a larger bonus…budget just doubled. Would you recommend a better A/V or both A/V and speakers? My old receiver was an Onkyo THX….is THX still worth it?

Yes a Sony 85" X91J and a Sony Blu Ray player. I have been splitting the audio (to the AV) and video (to the Sony) from the blu ray currently before my subwoofer died.....prompting my ask.

Hi all…so my old Onkyo HT is slowly dying after 25+ years…. putting together a new set up…, What are you looking for (Speakers, Subwoofer or Both)? Everthing Primary Use: 20% Music, 80% TV & Movies Desired Configuration: 5.1, maybe 7.1 Room Size: 13x12 - basement Is the room open to other...

The bonus(?) is the wife doesn't like the old speakers - "too big" and would support getting new ones :D We are in Finland now and will be moving to Spain later this year.....my boss loves Genelec (G2 / G3 and HT series) for example.

Yes...IIz, if I can recall correctly from 4 years ago. By "system" we have a THX speakers (from the early 1990s) in storage I used with the Onkyo THX for 5.1

The older Onkyo was a THX system....how does Atmos / DTS X compare? (Sounds like I have some technical catch up reading to do!) Need to explain the "new" to the other boss. ;) UHD BD - not on the radar per se, but currently running BD via HTPC (built it prior to going over to avoid buying a...

Thanks.....although the shipping would be free (work would pay for it) So unless you guys have advice for new stuff, :D I'll lurk around to see what has changed in the past 5 years.... Any other thoughts?

Hi, So a few years ago (~2009) I purchased an Onkyo THX A/V Receiver for our home theater set up....well in 2011 we took an international assignment for work and put it in storage. I don't recall the model....and the paperwork is all in storage. :wacko: We now have been told we will be...

Joe, This was an upgrade of a nice, but dated HT. We moved and we had a new space that we could dedicate - what prompted all of the upgrading was my wife. She wanted smaller speakers - so we started looking at B&W.....the rest is the oooh. We had been talking for a few years about replacing...

I ended up going with the Onkyo 876 & a Panny BD-80 Thinking of going with the Panasonic TC-P50G10 - any thoughts?

He was referring to using a Sony BD with a Sony HDTV indicating it was the only way to ensure proper playback...

- Got a potential deal for the 906 for 1250...is that good? Also, convinced the wife to also upgrade the TV - thinking the G10 Panny....and a decent Blue Ray... Got an odd comment that shot up my BS radar - I was told that I will be better off keeping the Blue Ray & HDTV the same brand....oh...

Thanks - we will likely upgrade the 34" 16x9 TUBE we have as well Thanks for the thoughts on the networking.... Edited by KDRDoc - 7/30/2009 at 12:28 pm GMT

Mainly for the networking - I don't upgrade frequently (last audio purchase was early90's) want to be able to use with my server. Unless you guys know a better way?

Ok - I've decided to go with the TX-NR906 from Onkyo. Not sure if I got a good deal or not....less than 1400... From an authorized dealer...

So what would be a better choice the Onkyo 876 or the Pioneer SC-27/25 with the B&W's? I really liked the THX on my old HT so I'd like to keep that...will the B&W's be OK with a THX receiver? I've seen some threads with video issues on some Onkyo models....

OK - so what about receivers? I've had Onkyo's in the past (including my current THX 5.1 system from the 90's) What would you all reccomend? The audio store reccomendded the Pioneer Elite SC-25?....Denon? Cost is open - say $1500 ish

Convinced the wife to go with me to a local audio store - we listened to several small satellites (similar to the Bose) and kept moving up due to sound quality we ended up really liking B&W 685? Got a price for 2 B&W 685, 2 B&W 686 and B&W HTM61 and a sub from Velodyne DEQ10 - for $2000 Wife...

Thanks for the advice and reading materials - I had challenged the salesperson about the ability of the small cube speakers to generate sound properly and for the system to provide good response - she said "well, Dr. Bose is a genius!" (I gave up trying to get more info at that point) Can I...

Hi all, I am moving into a new home and the prior owners had a Bose system - they left us the outdoor Bose speakers and hanging wires from the interior speakers, and a Bose amp. My wife is tired of the large-ish speakers of our current system - a circa 1994 Onkyo THX system (5.1) and is...
