You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

Well, speakers are the custom choice, you need to know what do you like and how they should sound...I'm using Polk Audio Monitor 200.

Mousa, I'm looking at the same thing, and here's what I've found from checking out Onkyo's website. They have all the current models listed with specs, features, pics, and links to authorized vendors (Amazon included). I also recommend cnet's website for third party and customer reviews. http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems Here's a summary of what I found there: The 5300 gets stepped up to the 6300 with up-conversion on the analog inputs plus powered zone 2 (which allows for same or separate audio to be output on two channels to another location), then the 7300 adds some minor speaker upgrades with tallboy front speakers & bass reflex. For $200 more (MSRP), the 9300 gives you THX certification, upgraded optional on-screen interface, a larger subwoofer (12" ^ from 10"), and an extra Composite input, but no longer includes the optional IR iPod dock. I'm leaning toward the 7300 since the cost vs. the 6300 is minimal and the 5300 doesn't up-scale, but haven't made the purchase yet. My local fry's has them in stock and will price match so I plan on trying them out there first.

Dear E. Thanks for your inquiry. The X series of Denon receivers offers and upgraded Audyssey setup, a longer warranty, and other features that are designed for more custom installations. The same is true for comparing the AVRS900 and the AVRX1100. The AVRS900 has a few more inputs but does not have the upgraded Audyssey, the longer warranty and the detachable power cord. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

Dear Nat,A good quality 2 channel or surround receiver should do just fine.Eric C

You have to either split one sub channel, or, preferably, use subs with line pass through capability. SVS SB13-Ultra comes to mind. This receiver sounds great. I returned a Denon x4000 and this is way better. It even sounds better than my Crown studio amps. And the room correction is way better than Audyssey Platinum's XT32 features.

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

Hey Matt, we just purchased the Onkyo cs-355. we attached a pair of Yamaha speakers to it.... works great!

Go online to denon and ask the same question, corp is very good for a quick response.

Thanks very much for your question. They are both wonderful sounding pieces. I personally prefer the Denon. Thanks again!

I am currently using a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf Loudspeakers. they sound very good. other ppl suggested using a pair of Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers would be a good idea too. I will try to post a video with my setup.

I purchsed the 663 this spring and couldn't be happier (although it took a while to maximize settings when hooking up a PS3, PS2, Wii, tape deck, DVD, & CD player and programming the settings- you can customize each input. Between HDMI, component video, opitcal audio, and plain old RCA jacks, I almost pulled my teech out). I believe the 861 has a third HDMI input and slightly more power. I would recommend checking CNET and AVS Forum for detailed reviews. I'm using older 8 Polk RM 2000 surround speakers, 1 Polk RM2500 center speaker and 2 Polk PSW300 subwoofers. They may almost be antiques, but it sounds great.

Why would you want to? Hi def sound sent to a fuzzy analog tv...don't do it. You have defeated the purpose of buying the Denon amp.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?
