New member Username: Voodoo612Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-05 | I am a newbie and have a small room 17 x 13. I'm looking for a sound system for my 42" sony lcd. I have been reading a lot of forums and reviews. I'm thinking of getting the Yamaha HTR 5760 at etronics for $319 and the Onkyo SKS - HT240 at B&H for $329. My question is will these two sound good together? They both got good reviews from other sites that I checked, but I'm not sure what makes a speaker set and receiver work well together. It seems like a good system for $700, is it??? Please help. Don't burn my too bad, like I said I'm pretty new to this. Thanks in advance. yamaha reciever http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?icatid=4118&stk_code=yamhtr5760&svbname=293 Onkyo speakers http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&kw=ONSKSHT240&is=REG&Q =&O=productlist&sku=325891 |

anon12 Unregistered guest | i am a yamaha fan and i would think that with those speakers, you will probably do better with an Onkyo receiver and the speakers. But then again its your ears. |

New member Username: SidmaestroPost Number: 5 Registered: Jan-05 | i would just like to say one thing (still looking for a similar receiver for HT240 speakers) be careful if you buy from etronics.com. Its not listed as an authorized Yamaha dealer. Yamaha will not honor the warranty. Check out the list here: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/customer/dealer.aspx |
