Onkyo TX-SR607 7.2-Channel A/V Surround Home Theater Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My previous receiver was a 9 year old Sherwood. It was a little above a low end unit. It started buzzing and I decided it was time for a replacement. I have 2 nice Wharfdale floor speakers, a nice center, decent rear surrounds and 2 really decent sub woofers.

I read extensive reviews on several brands and decided that I would purchas Onkyo. I went to Fry's looking for the 606 model. They were sold out and just received the 607. I purchased the 607.

I wanted something HDMI based that allowed audio through the HDMI cables. The thing was a snap to set up. Make sure to run an HDMI cable to your TV from the receiver so that you can do on screen programming.

As I said, I have 2 sub woofers and the 607 has two output RCA jacks to enable 2 subs. No more RCA splitters. I fired the thing up and was shocked at the sound quality. The thing sparkles and the lows are clean and deep. I adjusted the individual speaker levels with a Radio Shack db meter on an easy to use Onkyo menu. I did not use the calibration system built into the receiver. A few trips through the menus and you have them mastered. The menu system is REALLY SIMPLE.

Unless you have some REALLY expensive speakers, this is the unit for you. Great sound quality, simple setup and easy menus make this a good choice for the novice or mid range home theater enthusiast.

I highly recommend the unit.

JBL CS480BG High Performance, complete 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System with Brackets (Black Gloss) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that I couldn't be happier with these speakers.I did my homework when it was time to take my 6 year old HK SAT-TS2 5.1 system off the wall and make the next step toward turning my living room into a true cinema.Although I have the 6.1 capable Sony receiver and Blueray player (AKA PS3), I decided to stick with a 5.1 system due to the size limitation of my living room (13x16).My room was already wired, but the system does come with speaker wires and subwoofer cable.Another bonus are the two sets of speaker brackets.This system includes fixed (uni-directional swivel) and pivoting brackets for all the speakers.I also liked the departure from the spring clip connectors.These speakers have quality screw terminals that can handle a 10 gauge wire.The only issue I discovered was that the fixed bracket for the center speaker may create a short between the speaker wire terminals.A little electrical tape solved the problem and I was finally off to the races.HD TV, Dolby Digital 5.1 movies, and PS3 games have been raised to a new level with this system.Zero buyer's remorse!
