Hi
1st - I tried creating a similar thread for advice but can't find it anywhere so not sure if it was actualy created. Apologies if this is duplicated.
After a long time I now have the finances to buy an AV receiver to go with the pioneer krp500 plasma.
I'm looking at this one Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 5.1 Speakers And Onkyo TX-SR609 AV Receiver Bundle With Free Cable Pack - Value Home Cinema Bundles Under £750 - Audiovisual Online - High Quality Audio Video Cables and Accessories
Here's the cry for help;
Is this a good deal? I ain't heard of the company and can't find any reviews for the company! I mean how good is there aftersales and what about returns if the product doesn't agree for any reason!
Onkyo TX SR609, I quite like the 7.2 capabilites of this and the fact that this has the capabilites of 4k resolution...will this improve the quality on my pioneer or do I need a new tv with 4k resolution? I can't seem to find the Onkyo in any of the shops I've tried (not many sell Onkyo products) is this a bad sign of the Onkyo brand? Is this a full HD (1080p) av receiver as I'm confused with the spec sheet (on the Onkyo website)! There also appear two different models for this onkyo, TX SR609 and TX NR609, and I can't pinpoint the difference between the two....could it be that one is black and the other white?
Boston Accoustics Soundware XS5.1; these speakers seem pretty good and I'm thinking about buying two extra to make it a 7.1 system. I'm gonna stick them on the ceiling corners...is this okay, i mean I don't want the sounds to be flying over my head, i.e when a bullet is fired on tv I'd like it to go past my ear instead of over my head. Has anybody else got the speakers high on the walls?
Peeps, I'm really really tempted to buy this pack, but i fear any compatibility issues with the TV, Sky HD and Panny Blu Ray player. Somebody tell me this is good.
Thanks
