Don't know them at all, but they look very like the Anthony Gallo spherical speakers. From the specs I'd say either receiver will work very well with them - the choice is really down to whether or not you want the HD audio futureproofing provided by the Onkyo. If not, the Sony's a great buy for that money.

Not really. The Sony STR-DG910 is worth an audition if you want something that falls between the 1200ES and the TX-SR605 in terms of sound and facilities, but the WHFSV review crew weren't totally smitten when they tested it back in the November issue.

regarding sound quality is there a major leap in sound quality from a £400 amp to an £800 model from onkyo/ sony etc?

Yes - either the TX-SR805 or the STR-DA3300ES will offer a significant gain in performance, though whether the OrbAudio speakers will be good enough to reveal this is a matter for conjecture, not having heard them.

They have had very good reviews from other magaines (US). I guess the best way to decide is to listen!

Thanks for the advice
