LN52A550 vs LN52A650 (Audio)

I got the 650 on Monday and the speaker sound is very good. I was impressed with how the sound seemed to surround you. I have since hooked it up to my home stereo but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the built in speakers.

There are no other differences, and I think that the 95W vs 85W is just on paper. Onkyo reps have stated on the internet that they are "the same build".

The main difference is that the ht-e6500w is the older model. The newer one appears to have a bit more versatile TV and internet connectivity. I would suggest that if you can still find the older model, new and in the box, you might be able to get a much lower prize. I don't use min often but I do enjoy it when I do. I did a wiring mod whereby if have my old JBL Athena's hooked up as the front and the systems front and rears wired is series for the back. Works pretty good. Hope I've helped a bit.

Make sure it has the same audio cable builtin with it. If the specs are the same get the cheaper one. I think it might b a lower guage wire used in the cheaper 1. The cheaper 1 might use 18 guage wire vs 16 guage in the more expensive cable

No, if you need digital audio inputs, look into the 550HSD or 575HSD. Much larger, so they may not be in your budget/space requirements.

The biggest difference I have noticed between the A1 and the A2 is that the A1 included 5.1 Analog Audio outputs and the A2 doesn't. If you have 5.1 analog audio inputs on your receiver this is a big deal, if you don't have 5.1 analog audio inputs on your receiver it isn't.

I've had both TV's. The B550 replaced my A550 which was broken. The PIP was on A550 but the screen was so small it wasn't worth it. The sound on the B550 is supposed to be better but I'm unconvinced. I think it's worse. But I do admit that the accident that broke my A550 could have caused a problem on the HDMI port on my cable box. I'm not ready to blame Samsung yet. But I have also read reviews where sound was mentioned as an issue. But the picture on the B550 is a lot better.

I have done quiet a bit of research between the 830's and the 820's, including listening to them side by side in a retail store. From listening side by side, it was nearly impossible to discern much difference between the two. I believe the best way to determine which set to purchase is to define how you plan to arrange them. Essentially, with the Studio L line, JBL created different speaker configurations for either wall mounting or non wall mounting. If you intend to wall mount, the 820's are the way to go as they are thinner and have an additional speaker in the front (4-way), and they are designed spread the sound over a wider area. For home theater use, they are meant to be matched with the LC-2 center channel speaker (also thinner, wall mountable, and 4-way). If you do not intend to wall mount, the 830's are the way to go as they are deeper and have a rear port for best performance when positioned slightly away from a wall or cabinet. They are meant to be matched with the LC-1 center channel, which is also much deeper than the LC-2 and is 3-way/rear ported. Some people have even tried to mix/match by using the L830's as front L/R channels and the L820's as rear surround channels. JBL also offers the L810's, which are specifically meant for wall mounting as surround channels, since they are 3-way/front ported.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

Thank you Donald for the response and the information! My only concern about the LN52A750 is no swivel stand. I may have to bite the bullet. Do you have any thoughts on the Samsung HT-X810 2.1 Channel Soundbar Home Theater System? The description talks about hanging, but says nothing about 'sitting' (which I would rather do). I can't handle a 7-piece surround-sound set. I definitely need more simplicity. I live in a historically registered home that is definitely not conducive to modern electronics! And this is one girl who loves her electronics! Any help you can give me on a soundbar would be once again, sincerely appreciated. Thank you Donald for the response and the information!

I'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

Dear Customer,The 7008 is a GREAT VALUE. The 7009 has the added ability to support Dolby atmos as well as the added connectivityWith WIFI, And Bluetooth built in however the 7008 is a great receiver/amplifier. We have both the 7008 and 7009 in stock. Thanks!

at least one big difference is the HDMI switching. 6200 is the winner hands down. 5200 is pass through without sound as I understand it.

Hardware wise they are the same. Looks and Audio presets are slightly different.

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read:http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

750 has an additional woofer speaker for better bass, a solid state flash drive with some preloaded content - consisting of "exercise, children edutainment, cooking recipes, image gallery & games", and it is DLNA certified. Physically, the 750 is rectangular, note the curve of 650 at the bottom. The "Touch of Color" red bezel is on all four sides, not just the top and bottom. Also the clear part of the bevel is slightly thicker around the edge. Edit: Also forgot that the stand base on the 750 is rectangular, versus the oval of the 650.

I've not tried the 535's. I had the entry level shures and then got the 846's and had no comfort problems with either. The 846's sound amazing.
