New amp advice

[tvspecv]

hi all wanted to know which amp would go well with KEF KHT2005.3 speakers and be compatible with 3-d audio 1.4 under £500 any ideas?

After numerous demos, I've found the 2005's work extremely well with the Onkyo amplifiers - 606/607 etc - so something like the new 608 will be perfect.

what about the Onkyo TXSR308 for on £229

 

[Frank Harvey]

It'll drive them ok. I've just found that after numerous demos with many different amplifiers, the 606 (at the time) got the best from the 2005's. The 308 will sound similar, so I can't see any problems at all. Whether it'll get as much out of them as the 606/607/608, I'm not sure.

i think i`m gonna go for this one though it just looks the business sony str-dn610 for £259 its not bad

 

[Frank Harvey]

I suspect the Onkyo will have more brute power than the equivalent Sony.

last choice after careful consideration is the YAMAHA RXV567

Q Acoustics Q-AV or Boston Acoustics Soundware XS with the YAMAHA which would give me good sound overall not going with the kefs keeping the budget low

any ideas? dolby hd and dts hd do speakers make lot of difference producing this type of audio?
