What do u guys think of Onkyo 605, CNet Editor Choice Jul 2007 and What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision Award Winners 2007: Product of Year & BEST RECEIVER £300 - £750.

One shop at Pertaman Complex offers RM2500, do u think it worths the price? tq

So, it is finally here. It received a lot of good reviews. IMHO, it offers value for money. Tis baby has almost everything under the it; Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD, upscaling, etc. Now, I am tempted by it.

Sorry kll71 using ur thread.. hope can get some help here....
I'm planning to buy a stereo receiver just to manage my stereo system...
i dont have an ultimate setup just simple mini setup that satisfied my needs of music..
I got a Samsung LCD TV, PS2, Sony Dvd Player, my PC with headamp and of course my headphone. and my 2.1 speaker set.. ohhh forgot...i'm also planning to get a decent CD player later...
So i want my future receiver able to manage this setup
i got quote from one shop at PJ around RM900++ (the person directly call thru my handphone after i sent an email at onkyo website )

Used to be distributed by Tat Chuan. However, I might doing a bulk for this. Still waiting for the quotation from them.

yeah keep us posted.. check price for SR705 also..

SR705 seems to be the sweet spot from Onkyo, not too underpowered and just nice for a medium sized hall.

sr605---rm2999,
sr705---rm3699,
sn875---rm6599

just below my office..

can do bulk??

Tat Chuan seem to be doing not well recent year.. they lost the Tannoy HT distributionship..

I am considering Yammy rxv-1800 vs onkyo tx-sr705. I believe they are from the same price range. Any advice?

Yammy rxv-1800 =rm4350.....

Initially I was thinking about upgrading to the Onkyo SR605 to take advantage of the HD audio capability of my HD DVD player and PS3 but this thread at avs made me seriously consider the Yamaha instead

I have read few here and there. It is generally regarded starting from tx-sr875 that onkyo began to match yammy's rvx-1800 sound quality. Anything below that just doesnt compare.

onkyo tx-sr875 = yammy's rvx-1800 ,are u sure? different level wo......sr875 is high end.....rx-v1800 is middle end wo

That fella on holiday, arj. Will check again when he's back.

Exactly my point

Well, the PS3 is unable to output DTS-HD Lossless via bitstream (HDMI) so that means all the titles released by Fox Studioes will be affected as they're a lover of the DTS-HD format.

These prices are for which shop? I got a quote of RM2500 for the 605 from Legend. A fellow forumer who went to Legend was quoted RM2600 for the 605 and RM4180 for the 705
