    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Jim/Parin, Thanks for the info. I like the All-Channel Stereo for TV and music so far, and will keep experimenting.

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Everyone, I'm still blown away by the 600's sound and capabilities and we're enjoying it immensely. With the approach of summer, my wife and I "have" to do a ton of movie watching to make use of the 2-for-1 DVD rental cards Sony sent us following our DVD player purchase this past January... for...

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    ChadLB, Getting it from OneCall sounds like a good idea. Hope you get yours soon. :emoji_thumbsup: I'm thoroughly enjoying the 600. I'm new to the game, but I found this easy to set-up and it runs my system smoothly. While I'm in no way an audiophile, I think I recognize and appreciate the...

    Robert Marc, I think we're talking about the same thing (alcove/bumpout). I'll send you a rough sketch of my layout.

    ChadLB, Too bad about the CC receipt. However, the 600 is still worth it for $450 in my opinion. Rob

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Everyone, Got my 600 hooked up and running and everything sounds awesome. :emoji_thumbsup: I have an odd-shaped 20 X 12 rooom (with an extra 9 X 8 bumpout along the wall where all my HT gear is set up; viewing area is in main room), and the 600 has driven my system (Axiom Epic Master)...

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    elMalloc, Energy's recommendation for their 5.2's (and even the Encore's) surprised me as well. Their manuals seem to be "pretty good" for what else I've seen out there, so I listed them as a reference. Most of the recommendations I've seen recommend "small" for all (bookshelf/small...

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Jay, I've mostly heard that speakers set to "small" is the way to go, but looking in the online manuals for Energy's Take 5.2 and Encore systems (two systems I considered before buying my setup), they recommend the "large" setting for the best overall sound unless you listen to very loud music...

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Jason, Just got back from CC with my price-match refund of $26.14. Thanks again for the receipt. It was funny... the guy behind the service counter goes "Where is this Circuit City located?" when I said that I found a CC selling the 600 at a lower price. I said, "Orlando, FL" and his jaw...

    Jason, Grady: Jason, Thanks for the e-mail of the receipt... I'll do battle with CC for the $25 price difference since I have to head to that part of town today anyway. Grady, my choices were the 600 or the Denon 1802. I have the Denon color brochures for the 1802 and the 2802, and the 2802...

    Wayne & Greer, You both make good points... it's nice to have a plethora of shops, sources, and options nearby, but it can be overwhelming. The net provides a great resource and keeps prices reasonable. Example: a set of Lovan stands I wanted for my mains was $130 + tax from my local store...

    Onkyo TX-SR600: First Impressions [and Comparison to the 595]

    Hey everyone, Just got my 600 today from Circuit City. Paid for it last week and they did a store transfer from another location about 30-40 miles away. Had a tough time getting them down from their $499 price, but was able to get it to $449 and it was $474 out the door like other posters...
