| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? 705/706 and 805/806 are rated for continuous 4 ohm load - may have power reserves that allow them to easily handle more difficult loads than lower models rated only for 6 ohm loads.Going from 70X to 80X gives 30 more watts per channel of power (10... | |
| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? HK's have great sound for the money, but their reliability has been lower than the Japanese brands. Onkyos are pretty good for the money - you can get a new Onkyo TX-SR706 for under $500 on Amazon. I assure you this machine will sound good.If you ... | |

| revel m22 or f 30's I heard the M22's on quality stands with a Musical Fidelity A5 CD/Integrated combo and some nice wires. I REALLY liked them. Not the most neutral sounding speakers, but their sound grabbed a hold of me. At 85 db the M22's are not the most efficien... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? Interesting. I listen to music pretty much every evening I am home. That would mean turning the system on and off everyday. I agree with other posts that it takes time for the wires to warm up (I have long runs of speaker cable), so what is the di... | |

| Simaudio CD-1, Marantz SA-15, or Cambridge 840? Here is my impression of these players:Simaudio CD-1, admirably neutral soundingMarantz SA-15, haven't heard it, but Marantz gear generally sounds on the warm side of neutral to my ears.
