Which is better, this model or the HT-S9700THX?
1547525
I have had the Onkyo HT-9400THX for almost three years with more disappointment than a system of this price should give. Known hdmi board failures, erratic behavior, and overall poor quality control lead me to recommend you look elsewhere for a system. I am shopping for a new system for my river house and it will definitely NOT be any Onkyo branded system.

If TV-based sound is important to you then the LN52A750 is the right model to purchase. That model has subwoofers in the 2-speaker system and it has the best sound of the 6,7,8-series samsung models. In my opinion, you are getting your money's worth (DLNA and USB interfaces, better sound) for the extra $100 over the 650 model. Also, check out the $150 blue-ray discount feature, you can get a blue-ray player with the TV for net-net, $50 extra !!

We purchased the 700 and it works perfectly. We have Sony TV, DVD player, receiver and ATT DVR.

I am completing my HT set-up too; only the Receiver and TV are left to buy; my Room is 12 x 12 feet; I was told 54 inch would be too much, so I narrowed it to Panasonic 50V10 vs Samsung 50B860. I want to hang it in the wall and the Samsung is sleemer and nice looking and the hook-ups in the back are sideways (so the cables don't stick out), but I get worried about this "buzzing" mentioned in some posts; apparently some people sent it back and the replacements had the same problem; would hate to go through that; I leave in FL (sea level); wanted to buy it before Christmas and getting a headache out of it.

they do not have any difference... both do not have a digital display ... only the oldest model has.

9600 is new model. I don't think there is much difference. You would have to go through every spec to see if there is any. I would start with the pioneer website. I love my 9500 I wouldn't change anything about it. If the price is close obviously go with the new one.

I am happy with the performance of the HTS 3600 MKII. I also purchases it at Amazon for very reasonable price. I have it connected to my outfit.

I've read great reviews about Onkyo as a brand for receivers. Although i have a samsung 46" that i'm simply loving right now. the Samsung HT-BD1250 sucked so bad that i'm reluctant to trust Samsung for audio gear. It sure looks good though the new system.The 5300 Onkyo looks more upgrade friendly. But the SR608 is overkill for me so i'm not even going to bother drooling over it.

I got the 830 even though the 840 was available (for US$100 more) as I didn't see any more value in the 840. I've been using the 830 for two months and like it. My wife adjusts the TV speakers for her ears and I add what ever volume I need.

I would go with the 650 G because it's much more modern and has lifetime aura updates myself. I like it quite a lot in fact. The models before this were no slouches on radar but some people complained that their 9965 had display problems in that a strange line would appear in it's display after a while. The 9970 g doesn't appear to have that problem from what I read. I would just get the 650 because the price for these two detectors is pretty close to each other. If I could pick up a 9970 g I would even now if the price was right. It's a excellent detector too. Not that I don't like my newer version. I do. I'm just a detector hoarder. :) I would go with the 650 G because it's much more modern and has lifetime aura updates myself. I like it quite a lot in fact.

I don't know whey they have both models listed, but it is the model S107G. I am returning it.

My understanding of the differences is the 880 is suppose to be a little more powerful than the 790. It may be but I'm very satisfied with the 700 series. The remote is convenient but not necessarily needed. I do know this product does what it advertises it will do, so you should be happy with either one.

The 799 is there newest model but.. I don't see a differance except higher price

The HT-F6500 is the later of the series, other than a few cosmetic changes, I see very little difference. I chose the HT-E6500 because I think it looks better, and prefer the hidden drive door. I didn't see much in the way of added options or improvements.

There's a good compare of 970 and (worse than 4820) 4770K and 4770K is already better than 970. check cpuboss dot com. I'd run for the new one. Mine is simply amazing. I'm thinking about exchanging the HD to solid state. I work with audio (homestudio) and the CPU performs amazingly.

For the size of the TV I'd recommend the 981HD, especially if it's a pz700 or pz750 model.
