806 vs 606: Can someone tell me if I should put a dent in my budget and go for the 806 instead?

It's the extra wattage, THX certification and sound modes (Cinema, Music, Game), Audyssey MultiEQ (6 positions vs 3 [on the 606]), 1080p HDMI and analog upconversion. I own both the 606 and 806. If you're looking for a more capable receiver that does indeed sound better than the other, get the 806. If you're okay with settling on something that fits your needs and don't need more, get the 606.

Just ordered the Lanzar, will let you know in a couple of weeks. If it feels right try it.Price, as long as your not looking to hear it two blocks away, as long as it compliments your music, and you are happy it's right.

Wow man I wish I could answer that question. I really don't know. I mean it's a $60 sub. I'd think if you're sincerely concerned about those technicalities a more expensive setup is more for your liking.

No. You'd be better off with Grado SR60 which has a brighter, edgier sound and less subdued bass. Really you need to audition a few at a audio shop to decide for yourself about comfort as well as your music tastes - take some tracks to the store with you for the audition.

Hello, I would suggest the Blackstar ID30 or ID60 for a little more power , and much more ideal for the type of music and sound you are looking to get. You can give the store a call if you wanted to order one of those 856-384-2725

Probably the higher one, but difference is negligible. If you want the loudest, most noticeable sound, get both of them.

Not technically. I compared the specs on Onkyo's web site and the 606 is physically bigger and has a better signal to noise ratio. After comparing them I decided that is wasn't really worth the extra $$ to go for the 7100 system with the SR-606 since I did not need the speaker stands.

For a room that size the 8040s would be much more suitable. My 8060s at times can be a little much in my 15 x 26 foot room. They sound amazing at every volume range and for a serious listener I highly recommend them.

I love the 558. Since you are asking, I assume you are new to hi-fidelity headphones. If so, I suggest you start there. Once you have experienced them, you can develop an appreciation that might direct you to the 598s later, or in another direction entirely. Until you find out what your preferences and biases are, I wouldn't spend the money, because the 558s I have handle every improvement in source I provide. I would spend money to upgrade to the best cables you can use. I would also spend money to purchase higher fidelity music. There is a lot of discussion about range when you buy better music. That is not the issue. It is how much noise turns into additional music as the quality of your music files improves. It's like arguing about pixel size or frame rate wrt your eye's capability to see. Higher quality pictures look better, even if you can't see the pixels or the flicker from the frame rate. Anyway, the HD 558 give very good performance.

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

I have the Onkyo TX-SR702 that I like very much. I just wanted more watts and the new Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio but not for full price. If the 807 comes out I might take a look but Sony ES or Denon would be just fine.

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music).

Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start. You wont be disappointed even though you chose not to invest 150 more dollars on the m100. Believe me when i say that the LP produce better sound then most of Dr. dre beats headphones and for a fraction of the price. I broken many headphones in three months or less and these headphones are durable and dont feel flimsy and cheap like the beats. :D You wont regret the price you paid for LP which give you fantastic sound and durability. Best part, you get to sound out from the crowd (v^-^)/ Hope this helps Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start.

When I was in CC looking at the 650/850 side by side the sales guy told me that if I bought the 850 I would need to get a sound system cuz the speakers weren't good at all, but if I bought the 650 he said I could manage without a sound system. Since I don't own either one yet, I can't say personally.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

In concur with BOTH answers! The 600 is a good starter but I prefer this one (but I still kept the 600 for travel purposes).
