Hi,
I realize comparing these two systems is rather like comparing apples to oranges, however they are both currently available for around the same price. (Onkyo from Pixmania, and the Sony from Harrods of all places!)
Obviously with the Sony i'm getting a (rather good) BR player, however I think the connectivity that i'm sacrificing makes it unsuitable for my needs. Am I correct?
Additional equipment I will want to use in conjunction with the system includes:
-A Samsung LE40A559 40'' 1080P TV (Has 3xHDMI inputs, optical, & stereo phono jacks)
-A Toshiba EP-30 HD-DVD player
-An XBox 360 (via HDMI)
-Possibly in the future a BR player, Freeview HD/PVR, and/or a HTPC.
So, how would connecting all this stuff work with the 2 respective systems? (in particular the Sony)
Also, which of the 2 respective systems produces the better sound? (reviews indicate the Sony's bass is flawed)
Alternatively, are there any other Home Cinema Systems I should be considering? (budget ~£250)
Cheers!
