hello,

i'm planning to buy 2xTSi200, 2xTSi100, 1xCS10, and PSW125. can somebody advised me what YAMAHA and ONKYO A/V receiver will match for 5.1 setup?

i found YAMAHA RX-V465, HTR-6240 and ONKYO TX-SR507 both for 5.1 setup. i noticed also that ONKYO has 75W per channel while YAMAHA is 105W per channel, so which is better if not the best. need you help. thanks.

    You should listen to both receivers...the Onkyo is less bright....and if possible move up the AVR chain to a receiver with pre-outs...a Yamaha 800 series or an Onkyo 700 series will last you for years to come--and pre-outs for an external amp later on makes the AVR more future proof for upgrading....

    And welcome to Club Polk...nice set-up above!

    Agreed. I would lean towards the Onkyo. The TX-SR707 is where it starts to get good. The higher end model you can afford the better. I assume you don't want to spend to much but it does pay off in the long run as said above. Thinking down the road is always a good thing.

    Good luck with your new system.
