B&W 685 Theatre + ?? AV Receiver

[admin_exported]

What av receiver would you advise to me for this combination? My nearest dealer has only rotel and yamaha in stock, but what about brands like onkyo, marantz, HK? Music/Movies 50:50. My budget is 600€ max. Thanks for help!

Well if they have Yamaha in stock the 863 is the current champ at this price point.

Demo it and see if you like it!

i run a 685 theater but with 685s front and rear now im running the onkyo 605 at the mo but moving up to the Pioneer SC-LX81 which is a great price at superfi at the mo if you can wait and save up?

I have 684 theatre set up with an Onkyo 806 & the sound is great. I would get an older model such as Onkyo 806 which you should get at a great cost as the 876 is now the new kid on the block & at £600 or (euros) you will get better value for your krona!

Yamaha are great if you can get one :O)

Good luck.

Thanks for all your replies guys. It looks like there is not so hug difference between these combinations. Somebody is happy with Onkyo, somebody with Pioneer... I will try to listen yamaha + B&W and will see... Its my first HIFI and I don't want to go wrong...

Denon 2309 (at under 500) with the 685 theatre (under 1000) works fine for me -once I'd learned how to get Hi def audio running

I don't think you could go wrong with Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo or Pioneer. All of their current products have been rated either 4 or 5 stars so you really can't make a "mistake".

BTW, I have a Yamaha + B&W combo and I'm also happy with it. 🙂
