£300 tops for reciever ...? ( back/ centre speakers also ? )
Im after a reciever for my sound setup i posted this a while ago :-
New speaker/ Amp help! need opinions got around £400 to spend.... Im currently using a Musical Fidelity Elektra e100 amp with a pair of kef q55.2 floor standing speakers. I eventually want to upgrade to 5.1 however first of all im going to need an amplifier which will match my current amp and will support 5.1 sound. Also i would like video switching capabilities ( hdmi / component ) audio being carried across by hdmi is not needed. The HDMI also needs to support none standard resolutions ( 1366 x 768) The few amps which have caught my eye are :- Onkyo 505 £250 Onkyo 605 £350 Sony STRDA 1200 £270 Anyone got some suggestions more info, or perhaps own one of the above recievers? Also as a side thing does anyone have a good suggestion for what speakers / sub would go well with my system for a reasonable price? |

Yes i think so as it has support for the new HD Codecs. Eg. Dolby Digita True HD and DTS Master Audio. It is also a new amp only out this last few weeks. The sound from it is brilliant to be honest.
