New member Username: BstudPost Number: 1 Registered: May-04 | Hi, I am going to receive TX-SR501 from ecost.com soon. http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?action=detail&dpno=157373#scroll Could you please advise if I can use TX-SR501 with Onkyo 6.1 channel home theater speaker SKSHT510 as mentioned above? Alternatively, I am looking for smaller size system to use with TX-S501. Any ideas about brand and model? Thank you so much. Andy |

New member Username: BstudPost Number: 2 Registered: May-04 | Hi Hawk, Thank you for your information. May I assume this NHT package work with the specs of TX-SR501 which has only 65W/ch? A friend of mine told me about Klipsch speakers. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826208777&skuId=5378995&type=prod uct Any comment or experience with Klipsch? If I bring the system (Receiver and speakers) to Europe for use, any concern about frenquency differences(60Hz vs. 50Hz)? I know we need to use a step-down transformer. Thanks! andy |

DJK Unregistered guest | The Orb Audio Mod1s are cool, small speakers and they are really efficient and loud. So, I think they would be a good choice, too, to match the specs of the 501. Their subwoofer is a step up from most of the smaller systems, and the satellites have really full, detailed sound. |

I. Know More Unregistered guest | Beg to differ Hawk. Look on the Onkyo website. The 501 has 65 WPC in surround mode, 80 in stereo. |

Retail price is $699 and I think an extra sat is like $100. You can get it in either black or silver (titanium finish). http://www.tannoy.com/frame.cfm?ID=1&D=1 The NHT Super Audio system is awesome, however I think too "big" for the 65 Watt SR501. Kind of like the BMW parked out in front of the trailer park home. |
