Best surround sound system

[2K2 LS1]

I still say Denon over Yamaha! IMHO you will not find a more well built product than the Denon brand of receivers.

My Yamaha works great.

I picked up a Yamaha RX-V867 a month or two ago for $400 through Newegg.

That is a VERY good receiver.

I just bought a vizio sound bar with wireless sub. No wires and no mess. Hooked it up today and I'm pretty impressed with the surround quality even tho it's not a traditional surround system. Cost me $175 shipped on eBay.

I bought a ''box'' yamaha setup. It has 5 small speakers and one woofer. Has 4 hdmi hookups, and has worked great for the past 1.5 years now. I have been very happy with it especially for the price which was around $400 from best buy...

Mine is similar to this one.

I bought a $500 Yamaha HTR-5960 about 4 years ago. I have been VERY happy with it. I would definitely look at another Yamaha if I was looking.

Here is the sister of it on ebay for about $200. RX-V659BL

Two of them recently sold on ebay for <$100.

I went through the same shit with my 606. I loved the thing when it worked right, but that handshake song and dance drove me fucking crazy! I bought a service plan on it through Fry's, they replaced it with a Yammy RX-V567. Not as clean or powerful as the Onkyo, but at least the fucker always works.

So that's like 7 people in this thread alone that have had the Onkyo handshake issue?

It amazes me that anyone can ignore that.

Oh stop, Jared. All 7 of us just don't know what we are talking about, and are using cables that are too long. Paramedic/Audio Equipment Tim is an expert, he has this covered. Apparently 3 ft HDMI cables are just too long to send a signal across!

Never had any "handshake" issues.

Definitely, no HDCP issues and must faster or more efficient HDMI switching.


Ignore bcoop. He's just doing what he does the best. Being bitter about God knows what and being a Debbie Downer.

Onkyo gear is solid. That's why it's the top selling brands at retail giants like Crutchfield.
