Onkyo int. amp. speaker pairing?

Hi to all, which manufacturers of speakers best match the int. amplifiers Onkyo?

Thanks for answers

Loaded question that you keep asking, that's why you don't get any solid answers. There is no right or wrong speaker sound wise, only you can determine what sounds good to your ears. Power wise, you haven't stated which integrated amp, Onkyo has made many.

To be safe most all 8 ohm speakers short of big floorstanders should work well with anything Onkyo puts out.

I wanted to ask, certain amps sound better with certain manufacturers of speakers, for example: Rotel aligns well with the Triangle speakers I had such a system at home. I do not have the possibility to try to listen Onkyos in our country. I would like it order by Internet. Onkyo A-9050, I would like to buy.

I have owned Onkyo in the past. List the brands of speakers you have access to and we may be able to make suggestions. Don't you have dealers in your country where you can audition the combination of gear you are interested in ?

I believe the 9050 is rated at 75 watts a channel into 8 ohm, no 4 ohm spec so like I said, stick with any speaker that's 8 ohm short of big floorstanders.

There's literally hundreds of different speakers that can go with it. You tell us whats available to you and maybe we can better direct your attention. How big a room is this going in ? Music or HT or both ? Associated gear ?

Ok , the list of speaker brands is not very long, Monitor Audio, Dali, Polk Audio I have to listen it in Italiy its a new shop, but I live 50km away from it. Jamo, Wharfedale, Mordaunt-Short, Infinity, KEF, B&W and Yamaha. My room is 30m2, and I use for listen music. only I have is the Marantz cd player CD5001 this is the rest of my old setup.

I think out of those, The Polks, Kefs, Dali's, Jamo's or Wharfedales would work as bookies to match the Onkyo. Each has their own different sound characteristics though, some a good stretch from another too so best to get an ear on whatever you can to decide what floats your cannoli's.

+1, all of those are good choices with differing sound signatures.

But tony, I'm partial to Tiramisu!

+ ? On lots to choose from. If you can get/add a power amp you could add that to it & you would have more option - or upgrade to other receivers

When I had my Onkyo TX SR AVR it was driving Monitor Audio Silver S2's and sounded great.
