Hi Just bought a speaker package ( Q Acoustic 7000i ) and there was a bundle deal offering the Yamaha RXV 677 with the speakers for next to nothing Wasn't planning to upgrade my amp ( Onkyo 905 ) however now wondering whether to use the Yamaha or sell it on How would it compare to the Onkyo...

Anyone experienced the Mezzo 9 sub?

Been into Richer Sounds today and managed to get the Onkyo 905 for £789.95! Gonna try it with the MKs and a new sub before I upgrade further. They were pushing the MS Mezzo 9 sub. Anyone any experience of it as I am struggling to find a review?

Thanks be interested to hear how you get on with the dali. Anybody else have a view?

Despite my 605 only being 7 months old I cannot resist an upgrade to the 875 due to the cracking deals around at the moment. I am hoping to pair it with the new Pana BD-50 to replace my Toshiba EP35 ( does the BD-50 load discs quicker than the toshiba which took an age? ). My speaker package is...

It works! How daft do I feel! Thanks again.

I have read many threads on this but cannot achieve True HD sound on my Onkyo SR605 and Toshiba EP35. I have tried the 'handshake principle', set direct digital to yes and HDMI out to Auto. I can get Dolby Digital Plus but no true HD. Connection is via a cambridge audio standard HDMI lead...

Many thanks will give it a go

Sorry again Voodoo but the DVD player is the EP35 not the EP30

Thanks I am using HDMI from DVD to amp but it only sends the sound, I cannot get a picture. Currently the picture is coming via the video out on the DVD player direct to scart on the TV My Sky is linked via HDMI to amp for the sound and component direct to the TV - should I change this and...

Sorry the TV has component in.

Just bought the Onkyo SR605 and Toshiba HDDVD EP 30. I also have sky HD. My Panasonic HD Viera TV only has S video and Composite in, no HDMI input Please could you tell me what is the best way to optimise the kit. Thanks

Andrew, Re your suggestion of upgrading the amp first. I listened to the Sony 5200 yesterday and was mightily impressed However, I have just read the review on the Onkyo TX-SR875 which on paper looks a better buy than the Sony ( £200 dearer ) as it is future proof for now offering HD sound...

Many thanks Andrew. From what you are saying then my current speaker mixed package is as good or better than a new package in the £1k - £1.5k range? Would I see much improvement from upgrading the sub, if so any suggestions?

My current system is as follows; Panasonic 42" Viera HD Plasma, Sky HD, Denon AVR 2803, Pioneer DV 575A. Speaker system is a bit of a mix and is 10 years old, MK bookshelfs 75 x 4 and centre 75 x 1, mission 73S surrounds x 2 and back x 2 and a Yamaha YST-SW80 sub - the room is 5m x 5m The...
