    If you can try to get at least a Onkyo 705. It has pre outs so if you ever want to add an external amp later down the road you can.

    Two months ago I sold my 605 on Craigslist for about $260 because I wanted more power and was unable to add an amp. If your speakers are easy to drive, then the 605 will do fine. On the other hand, if you think this is a hobby that will keep your interest I would agree with the two previous comments and keep your eyes open for a 705 or perhaps another brand.
