Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 5414 Registered: Dec-03 | ooh nice! Can Onkyo handle that, though? |
Silver Member Username: John_sColumbus, Ohio US Post Number: 697 Registered: Feb-04 | Maybe the TX-NR 1000. But that might be a stretch even for this 73 lb. monster. |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 5467 Registered: Dec-03 | Whoah! I likes. Have you auditioned this one? |
Silver Member Username: John_sColumbus, Ohio US Post Number: 698 Registered: Feb-04 | First of all, let me say Yo! Chris! Do you really need help, or can Bernie and I riff on for a while here? Have you auditioned this one? You kiddin'? Nobody's got this in stock. Here's a brand that's in some big box retailers, but of course they won't be displaying this $5K piece. That said, there's much to be said for this unit as you'd expect. |
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 5496 Registered: Dec-03 | LOL...I don't know about Chris, dude, He's probably enjoying his Onkyo without speakers, or going insane with the speaker choices. Where did you find this one? |

Bronze Member Username: StevizardIndianapolis, Indiana USA Post Number: 15 Registered: Aug-05 | Chris, If money is no object, then take a listen to the Magnaplanar speakers at only $10,000 each. Too much money? Well, they're definitely not the most expensive speakers out there. Have you heard of RBH Sound? RBH Sound has been making speakers for over 20 years. Their speakers contain ALUMINUM drivers. I'm using 3 RBH T1 speakers as my front L/R/C, and 2 66-SE speakers for my rear surrounds. They have a HUGE SOUNDSTAGE, and place instruments and voices perfectly. I can't imagine any speaker sounding better. My friend bought the RBH System 2 speaker package and can't stop raving about them. Frankly, they sound awesome in his room. Check them out: http://www.rbhsound.com/index.html |
