Another one for a friend this one. I've decided Im not up to the job as home cinema isnt really my thing as yet.
He wants to base a home cinema kit around either the Onkyo TXSR606 or the Onkyo TXSR506.
Now, he doesnt have much room in his posh cabinet, and doesnt want to replace it any time soon. The bigger of these amps is only just going to fit, with little room between the air vents at the shelf above - not even a fingers worth. For this reaon, plus budget (no more than £600 all in including speakers), he favours the 506.
About speakers - his couch is right up agains a wall, and this cant be changed. Also he has one side of the couch tight against the side wall, so speakers would havce to be wall mounted behind him. For this reason he was just going use a couple of budget floorstanders plus, in the future perhaps, a sub. However, he has seen the Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1s and wonders if these would do the job, and he could be persuaded by something a little more "style" based.
He has a PS3 and a panny 32" lcd to hook up to the amp.
Sorry, this could be more focused but im sure itll get that way with some help.
Thanks in advance.
