No, other than what I already mentioned. Components wise, pretty much all the same including the power supply and transformer.

Hi guys,
Is the Onkyo NR646 is a good receiver? If i can get it around rm2k is it a reasonable price?

i am planning to put up a low costs satellites for the 7.1 effects.

i wonder if the yamaha sat is cost effective ? my understanding is that for satellites its not so critical (just for effects ??)

It's a decent receiver when it works. But when it doesn't, it's the best paperweight in the world.

Pick your poison.


Never heard of those sats.
But generally, if you just want surround effects; yes they work and the cost effective way is to buy cheap satellites.

Surround effects are not as as critical as the LCR and sub indeed, but to me personally I do like decent quality speakers for the surrounds. Why? Because I place soundstage and dynamics as two of the most important criteria in audio, be it in HT, stereo or even headphones.

The point I'm making is, yes many cheap speakers will work just to give you the surround effects. But there's a stark difference if you want those effects to sound huge, dynamic and engaging, all the while with the soundstage sounding even bigger than you'd imagine them to be. Puny drivers cannot give you that kind of dynamics handling, at least not without having a compressed soundstage or sacrificing something else along the chain. Where by then you'd have gaps within the whole listening area as well.

I do agree with comments. good speakers will provide the coherence sound and soundstaging.

that is why I have checked the Yamaha and I hope they dont skimp on speakers.

... Except, they do.

Yamaha, like many other companies put their money in their high end products. They care very little about their entry level stuff.

I may be wrong, but just skimming through some opinions on those speakers pretty much confirms my suspicion that they're very subpar products.

If you want cheap, get miccas or something.

Yamaha 579 seems tempting considering it's cheaper than 479 for at least tomorrow till Sunday!

Got the stand but the top base is too small for my speakers and the bottom base dented, in the end need to return to lazada. Anyone can recommend where to get a decent speaker stand?
