When you say 'plinth-style', what exactly do you mean? What's it got to house, and what shape do you want it to be?

Just in case you've missed the news story and all the posts on the forum, the PS3 now supports all the major HD audio codecs by decoding them onboard to Linear PCM and sending them out via HDMI. In this case, the Onkyo 605 will work perfectly with this and will play all the HD sound formats the PS3 throws at it. In my opinion therefore, I don't think it's worth paying the extra £300 - £350 for the Panasonic when you already have the PS3.
It's also worth knowing now though, the Onkyo will not display the HD decoded format on its little screen when it plays the new HD formats. This is because the PS3 is decoding the signal, not the amp, so the amp doesn't know what it is, it will just show as LPCM (or Multichannel PCM or some such). Rest sure in the knowledge though, you are getting the best sound possible from this combo.

[/quote]Ok thats cool,to tell you the truth i dont understand all the codecs and now you mention it i remember something about the ps3 firmware update, its hard to keep up,i will stick to the ps3 for now ,but that panasonic got good reviews in this mays edition plus it was mentioned in the test section that the ps3 will not output hd audio ! i suppose thats where the onkyo comes in then?

No, the review went out before the announcement, hence the comments. Though reading the review again the other day, it did make it out that the PS3 couldn't output any HD formats before the last firmware update which wasn't really true - it just couldn't do DTS HD MA. Now it can do this as well as all the others. The Onkyo comes in by accepting the LPCM signal via the HDMI cable, that's all - it doesn't do any decoding.
[quote user="bullitt"]do think i would be best to get the onkyo 606 instead of 605 seeing as its the same price[/quote]
Who knows? No-one outside Onkyo's heard it yet
[quote user="bullitt"]why would the 606 be the same price ?[/quote]
It's a very competitive market.
[quote user="bullitt"]Has it got
less functions? [/quote]
No, more.
[quote user="bullitt"]will the 605 now come down further in price?[/quote]
Yes, if the 606 is at least as good, and until the remaining stocks are exhausted. If the 606 is a dog, then the 605 might go back up again.
