wrexican Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi guys, i currently am using an Onkyo TX-SR606 for my HT setup and its been keeping me happy for the past 2 years. However, IF my wallet allows me to upgrade, what AV receiver would u recommend? Here's my simple setup which the Onkyo 606 is hooked up to: x5 Anthony Gallo Micro Ti X1 Anthony Gallo TR1 sub PS3 AC Ryan Media player Samsung 40" LCD TV Optoma HD20 Nintendo Wii I watch mainly blu-ray movies and play games with this setup, so an improvement with Picture Quality is the most important. Please feel free to recommend me an AV receiver which u deem to be an upgrade from the Onkyo 606. Budget wise, i recently relocated to Kuala Lumpur so prices are significantly different if compared to Australia. I bought the Onkyo 606 2 years ago for $950, so anything around that price range i guess. Thanks in advance...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willow Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 G'day wrexican , if you are wanting an upgrade in picture quality , perhaps you might consider a different source , maybe an Oppo BD-93. Not sure if an AV Amp around your budget will get you the results you are after. The Oppo's are a terrific player and picture quality on both formats are superb. Just my 2c , the other guy's may assist further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrexican Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 thanks for the reply Willow..i am planning on getting a different source in the near future..and the Oppo player seems very promising. Regarding the AV amp, i dont mind saving up a little more for a better amp.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isilver Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think you should wait a bit longer, so you have a few dollars more in your pocket. I'd recommend you have a look at the Cambridge Audio 650R, it's a pretty good receiver, sounds great as well as having great picture quality, it has an RRP of $2200 - however, retailers are advertising a special at the moment, you get the companion BD player for free, so you might be able to get the receiver for around $1500 (if you don't want the BD player). I've been pretty happy with my Yamaha receiver, so I'd also recommend a look at their new "AVENTAGE" range, the RX-A1000 (RRP $1799) is probably also available for around $1500.
