If not an Onkyo 606 then what?

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I have just bought a panasonic bd-30 bluray player and am looking for a decent AV receiver to utilise the HD sound. For my budget the Onkyo 606 would likely be the best choice however I listen to a lot of music aswell and having to talked to a few people, and reading the reviews, the Onkyo doesn't seem to deliver on this.

If I was to extend my budget a bit what would be the next step up to get the best of both worlds without breaking the bank? Another Onkyo?

Cheers

Jon

Hi Jon,

If you can be patient, there are @£400-£500 rivals to the Onkyo coming from Pioneer, Denon and Yamaha in the next while. Pioneer and Yamaha new models due this month; Denon in August.

Obviously we haven't tested them yet, so no idea how they'll compare to the Onkyo for music or movies - but options are coming!
