go to edesignaudio.com, and dont be fooled by the prices, these speakers are for real, especially the 6t6 towers....and by the way, they have a package builder where you can build any size package you want, and if you use this feature, its 15 percent off, oh and free shipping for almost everything

I've had these speakers for some time. They've probably been upgraded several times since then.I use a high-end Onkyo receiver with great results that are still pleasing to the ear.

GoldenEar Triton II speakers are awesome with my Onkyo TX-NX717 receiver. A bit pricey at 3000 for L/R 500 for Center and another 500 for back surrounds. But at this price point I do not think you will find a better option!

Onkyo makes a matching center/surround package--the SKS-4800--but it doesn't appear to be for sale in North America. OnkyoUSA's reps had no idea whether they would be available here. Most audiophiles recommend matched speakers across the front for timbre matching; if not matched then at least the same brand if possible. (Or else run a phantom center). I ended up getting an Onkyo SKC-540C center channel speaker from an online auction as its specs seemed closest to these--it's not normally sold separately (they were sold as part of the HT970 HTiB set).

I am using D7050 with KEF LS50 "bookshelf" type speakers. This is a near-field setup in a small space. For that, it works mostly well. But I don't think D7050 would be enough for larger space.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

Both sound great. In my opinion the HK sounds slightly better. The power output difference is not what it seams (90w vs 75w), I'd wager if properly tested they are equal in power or the HK actually has a little more. HK is very conservative in their watt ratings and push higher amps than most. The HK seams to match well with the warm sound I like and my Paradigm speakers (older models w/ silk tweeters). The HK will be easier to set up if you don't have much experience. The Denon has more surround processing modes that you may or may not like. Sound is very subjective and depends on your room acoustics, your speakers, and most importantly your preferences. If you are using a Blu ray player that bitstreams the new uncompressed surround formats (Dolby Digital HD, DTS Master Audio), then they will both decode them for you. If you use a PS3 remember that it can't bitstream these HD audio formats, but must decode them internally and send them via LPCM. If you need a good speaker set check out the Energy Take Five Classics sold on Amazon for less than $600 last I checked. You are going to be happy with either unit. Good luck! ps. The included iPod dock with the HK is a really nice free addition if you have an iPod. If I had chosen the Denon, I would have bought their model dock eventually.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

Have you called Onkyo to see if they have any suggestions? Or maybe go to one of the AVS forums, they may just have an answer for you. somewhere like digital home forums . com or avsforums dot com. they are pretty brilliant there and most are either dealers or beta testers for a lot of the gear. good luck

Glad I could help Louise. I'm not sure if you have purchased the Onkyo or not yet. I'd be interested in your opinion of it. I tried an Onkyo 607 and was not impressed. I went with a Harman Kardon 3390 stereo amp. It has 2 sub-outs, 80 wpc and will blow down the house with 1 Sony W2500 sub. A VERY good sub for $100 bucks btw.Harman Kardon HK 3390 High Performance 2 x 80W Stereo Receiver,Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer

I used the speakers from my previous Onkyo system, not the ones that came with the CS-355 because they looked nicer so yes, you can change the speakersI can't tell you what to look for though. I find Google search can help you with almost everything. I think the sound is good.

I have Boston Acoustic speakers with the universal mounts that I believe Onkyo also uses. They work fine, and are quite good for the price.

I owned harman kardon too before i got my xpa 2. I dont think it would be an issue if your system is dedicated for music only.I changed mine because my HK doesn't have a pre out and you need this if you want a XPA 2 so make sure that this HK has this features.. My advice is take a receiver that are capable of making 5.1 or 7.1 set up.My system has XPA 5 for surround and XPA 2 for my front speakers for 9.1 set up and it seems that wasn't enough for me believe me you need more along the way.Good luck to you and i hope this will help.

I would suggest checking with Onkyo Tech Support. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Hi, Though I have not seen or heard the klipsch, I can tell u a little about the Onkyo. I bought one a month ago. Unlike the HD 1000, this came with a receiver which had more inputs than u need. This is THX certified, has auto calibration, Zone 2 and much more. I researched for a year and a half b4 I made the purchase trough Amazon. There is newer model out with networking and USB support. Good luck

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.
