I'm planning to build up a new home cinema system. For over half a year I've been figuring out what Plasma to buy. Now I've seen the specs of the new Viera line-up from Panasonic I know I'll wait a couple of months and buy one of the new models. Meanwhile I want to focus on the AV receiver and speakers. I'm especially interested in video processing because of several SD sources, and streaming audio, so a network connection is a must.
I live in the Netherlands and can get a great deal on the Onkyo 905. It's about £1000, the same a Denon 3808 or a Yamaha rx-v3800 will cost me. The video processing is probably superior on the Onkyo, but I'm not to sure about the networking feature.
I'd like to pair the receiver with the Kef KHT3005 set, because of the sound, the looks and most important the budget. Do you think the receivers I've mentioned are overkill for the speakers. An alternative for me would be the Denon 2308 which can upscale (but lacks DTS-HD and TrueHD decoders and has only two HDMI inputs) partnered with the new Denon networking iPod docks. But I think the Onkyo 905 will be more future proof.
I can get the original KHT3005s for £600. The SE which you highly recommend isn't available yet, but when they do they will probably cost twice as much. Do you think the old ones are any good.
I've got a living room of approximately 7.5m x 6m with an attached open kitchen of about 3.5 x 4.5m. The space in the room used for watching TV and listening to music is about 5m x 5m. Do you thing the Kefs could fill the room or do I need more powerful speakers. I know, a lot of different questions. I hope you can answer some of them for me.
