I'm looking to get an Onkyo TX-SR505E soon following good reviews in what hi-fi and elsewhere. I have a few questions:
- the HDMI connection is pass through. I'm guessing this means its pretty much compatible with every HDMI standard (i.e. future ones as well) as it simply passes the same signal through without touching it?
- what's a set of decent speakers to pair with this? Looking to spend about the cost of the receiver on speakers (£250-300) unless someone tells me thats a bad idea and there's a better combination? I'm looking at the KEF KHT1005 which seem quite good although they are getting fairly old now I guess so maybe there is something better for the money? Should I be worried that the receiver outputs up to 130W but the speakers only handle up to 100W? Isn't there a good chance I could blow them if I go too high?
