Hey there,

I'm new to CP. I have always loved polk speakers although I have never had my own until now. My question relates to receivers. I have two in mind for my set-up. Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K vs. Onkyo 605. I was ready to buy the Onkyo but I have read some negative posts concerning it's performance. The Pioneer is THX certified and I will be using this system for movies about 90% of the time. Both are in my price range. Any comments???

Thanks,
Polk RTi8's
Polk CSi3
Polk FXi A4's
PSW505
Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K
Samsung 67" LED

    Welcome to the club Marlboro Man!

    I have never heard either receiver but have enjoyed my Pioneer very much. They are powerful, have a good feature set and in my case are very reliable. I would not worry if an AVR has the THX certification.

    The Harmon Kardons are supposed to sound good with the RTi speakers but I have not heard that combination. However for my .02 I would go with the Pioneer.
    AVR: Elite VSX-21TXH
    Amplifier: B&K 7250 Series ii
    Misc: Velodyne SMS-1
    Mains: RTi-10
    Center: CSi-5
    Rear: Boston DSi460
    Sub: SVS PC-Ultra
    TV: Panasonic TC-P58V10
    DVD: Panasonic DMP-BD60K
