Onkyo strikes again!!

[peds]

Can anyone help with a small dilema, i am wanting to buy new Onkyo 505 with KEF 1005.1's for a tad under £500 quid. would i be better using these funds to buy the Onkyo 605 so as to do the sound from my PS3 some justice or will the previously mentioned package do just fine? If the recomendation is to buy the Onkyo 605 which speakers would you recomend at less than £400 to buy as my whole system can't go over £800? The reviews for the KEF 1005.2's seem to be good. These items would be replacing a tired all in one panasonic SA HT70 sytem!!

If you can live with slightly bigger, more traditional-looking speakers, I believe you can pick up Q Acoustics 1010 5.1 package at £400 - that would be a better partner for the Onkyo 605 and blow the baby KEFs out of the water, good though they were at their time/for their size.

Would i be right in saying the Onkyo 505 doesnt handle HD sound from the PS3?

 

[Clare Newsome]

Well, apart from PCM - but yes, you'll need to move up to the 605 for the Dolby/DTS HD support.

You could get the kef 2005 's with the Onkyo 605 for around your budget and they come in black too[quote user="peds"]Claire sorry i have to ask if you would recomend the KEF1005.2 over the 1010's? I am not sure i can do without the style of the eggs!![/quote]
