Can anyone recommend a Onkyo receiver that will work well with these speakers? I like real heavy bumping bass. Thanks

Its not your reciever, it's the speaker. If you want bass, you must invest in a subwoofer.

I would suggest a receiver that is close to a 1000 wt range. These speakers are great in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. Pioneer receivers are more expensivebut they are better in my opinion.

I have Boston Acoustic speakers with the universal mounts that I believe Onkyo also uses. They work fine, and are quite good for the price.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

Sandra: Any high quality speakers will work with this receiver. I use a BOSE system, but Keff, Polk Audio or JBL speakers are great brands as well.

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

Based on the specs and the layout of the onkyo receiver it looks completely compatible. The bose speakers are driven by the bass via the receiver so looks like it would work great

I have used Onkyo receivers and find them be reliable, affordable, and full of features. I would suggest that you pay attention to the watts per channel needed and search for a receiver that will easily handle the power that's needed.

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.

Susan, I originally bought a pair with the sub woofer. I then wanted to do a 5.1 home theather and added another pair without the sub woofer. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR414. Works great!

Hello, Absolutely, they will connect your Polk speakers to your Onkyo receiver. These speaker wires that I own myself are the best quality and sound that I have ever used.

Yes, you could use these on a 2 channel receiver. I have a Onkyo 7.1 receiver 5 series and I am amazed by the sound of these speakers. I plan to upgrade to a Denon or another Onkyo to get more power out the speakers.I would say at least 100 watts per channel I am only at 85 watts per channel.

Glad I could help Louise. I'm not sure if you have purchased the Onkyo or not yet. I'd be interested in your opinion of it. I tried an Onkyo 607 and was not impressed. I went with a Harman Kardon 3390 stereo amp. It has 2 sub-outs, 80 wpc and will blow down the house with 1 Sony W2500 sub. A VERY good sub for $100 bucks btw.Harman Kardon HK 3390 High Performance 2 x 80W Stereo Receiver,Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer

Hi Mikey, I have paired these speakers with an Onkyo RC260 since 2 years from now. The most recent model of that Onkyo is the RC560 and you'll find it here on Amazon for about $400. My set sounds great and with a remote control like the harmony one, you will be very happy!!!

Dear Adam,Thanks for your inquiry. There are a variety of options for you in the Polk, JBL, Infinity, Pioneer and Sony speaker line that will fall into your budget and give you fine performance. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Oh, one more thing--make sure your Sansui receiver has a phono input!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Hey Adam, Since this is a very good receiver, I went with Sonance In-wall Theatre-Cinema speakers all around t Center and they sound great with this receiver. It's worth spending a few more dollars on higher end speakers. Best of luck!

I dont know if there better than fluance i did check out those speakers but the jamo seemed like a better deal i like them a lot. The Onkyo receiver is ok as long as it is a 6 or 8 ohm.
