New low budget system

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
As of last night i purchased a Klipsch Quintet II series home theatre system along with 2 Klipsch SS.5's. Now i'm looking for a descent reciever. I need something in the area of 75-100 watts x 7 channel. I hope to be finding a cheap Hd tv sometime in the future along with Hd satellite. Any suggestions for a good 7.1 amp. Prefer to keep it under 450.

Re: New low budget system

1) Onkyo TX-SR605 can be had for less than $500
2) Denon AVR-1508 can be had for less than $350, AVR-1708 for less than $500

I say less than because these are typcially MSRP quotes.

Good luck

Re: New low budget system

Alrite while i look in to those, anyone want to tell me about any experience they've had with these amps. Pros and cons preferably.

I'm sure if you read through the forum going back no further than 2-3 pages worth you'll get plenty of feedback/reviews on all the units mentioned.

The Onkyo appears to be the favourite for quality/features/price point while the Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, H/K, have their qualities at slightly higher price points.

JMO, and definitely not a flame, but I think you'll get a more diverse set of opinions on all of these AVRs at AVS Forum (AMPs, Receivers, and Processors - AVS Forum. However, read what's here first, by all means.

Re: New low budget system

I'll deffinately check that out. I was looking at reviews of the onkyo on c-net and i was surprised that it only got a 6.2/10. It seemed like everyone had some minor problem with it.

I think i'm going to try to find a good deal on a Denon 1908. Seems like its a pretty good amp and leave me a little room for upgrades.

Re: New low budget system

Which Onkyo are you looking at? It got a 8/10 from Cnet but the Denon is still a good choice.

Re: New low budget system

I was going by user rating but it was 6.9 not 6.2.
