I recently bought Onkyo 5300 and today noticed that S6300 has come down in price. I think spending little extra to acquire HT-S6300 is well worth it. I absolutely love Ht-5300 but the speakers are huge! I like sleeker look of Ht-s6300, plus up conversion, aux mic features are worth spending little extra money. But if you don't care about that, HT-S5300 is very good system with excellent sound.Haven't checked out Yamaha, so can't comment on it.

I'm looking at the Polk 50 soundbar now. I believe this is going to be the route I go with. Thanks for the input.

I use the JBL 510s. they are small and discrete but still provide good sound reproduction for movie watching which is my main use. They're also fine for 5 channel stereo listening to background music. They're not really up to hifi sound for music though, so if you're looking more for hifi sound go for two way main front pair (the JBLs are single way with a sub for the bass sounds).

Dear Customer,The 7008 is a GREAT VALUE. The 7009 has the added ability to support Dolby atmos as well as the added connectivityWith WIFI, And Bluetooth built in however the 7008 is a great receiver/amplifier. We have both the 7008 and 7009 in stock. Thanks!

Apologies but we don't have any listing for Onkyo SBX-300 so we can't tell you which is the best.

I would suggest the Marantz PM5004 Integrated Amplifier which is a great amplifier yet simple in design. I'm using it with Polk Audio TSI500 Floor Standing Speakers. Those I think you can fairy compare to the quality of the 753 in terms of audio clarity. I just preferred the Polk. The Marantz PM5004 is great in reproducing any kind of input you stick to it but if you look for clarity on analogue (like vinyl) or even better reproduction of digital (CD, minidisc, computer, etc) I doubt you can find a better in that price range (app $400-500). Good luck

I think Onkyo 8409 HTIB system couple years ago contained NR609 and this speaker set. They should be the best match. Otherwise, Onkyo won't put them together.

I don't have Onkyo 7030 to compare with, but I believe 7030 could also be a good choose. CD-S300 builds with BB PCM1780 and 7030 has Wolfson DAC. Both use nice mid level DAC. One of the reason I picked CD-300 was the front side USB.

Don't understand foss's comment re: junk. What's not to like about deep rich bass and a great midrange. Might like a little more high end. My system replaced my Onkyo 5 speaker surround system and sounds nearly as good but I can relocate the polk where I want.

That is Personal Preference and subjective, I can't comment on the current Yamaha Line up but feel that Denon seems to be one of the leading edge AVR's these days. Their Auddessy Setup is really awesome as it automatically measures the distances and sets the proper levels of the speakers for you.

The 580 has almost double the power, a larger cabinet for better bass and is more money. For $50.00 I'd go with the larger. I have the 575 (no longer made) same cabinet, more power and no digital outputs. Had it 4 years, everyday use and never a problem. I turn mine off when I turn the TV off. For most people it has plenty of bass and there are controls to turn it up or down. I did buy a 555 for my cousin and he's happy with it but hearing it I'd keep mine any day.

I bought the Shure SE530 and have been using the Shure 5E and the newer Shure 530 are much better sounding!

I have a onkyo 905 system and wanted to know if this model has any advantage then the S350.My reciever has all the bells and whistles in it for decoding. But I am always hooked for the best and trying to see if 350 is same as 550 in my settings.Thanks

I don't have the Onkyo 7030 but I ever owned an old Onkyo which just died after > 10 years. Personally I think Onkyo is better in details but I choose Yamaha because the convenience of USB port.

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.

Actually, according to Onkyo's website, the s6200 has a Slim Plastic woofer and the s5300 has a wood woofer. Comparing the two on Onkyo's website doesn't really suggest much of a difference. Actually, the s5300 almost looks better statistically. Maybe I am misinterpreting the details. If anyone else knows, please share. I am trying to decide which one to buy, too.Other sources suggest the woofer on the s6200 outperforms the s5300. Onkyo's website doesn't specify how the subs vary. I am leaning toward the s6200 for less than $100 more.
