Onkyo HT-S990 Review

mungeri · #11 5th February 2008, 12:17 AM

Hi Guys

I visited the local Onkyo demo room heard onkyo / elac, did not like it. Also visited the AV Expo and heard Klipsch Synergy F2's on onkyo receiver. F2's sounded much better.

Anyone has any inputs on F2's; cost around 31k.

I once heard the Klipsch Synergy F2 in Chennai. Didn't like it much. Lot of sound/volume/noise in my opinion. May be due to its high sensitivity, i guess.

Anyways, if possible try to audition Diamond 9.5/9.6, MA BR5/RS6 or MS 906/908i. These are exceptional value for money and gem of speakers on their own. If you ask me my obvious choice will be RS6.

All the best.

Hi I'm also new to this wonderful forum.
Just wanted to suggest, If you are considering Tower Speakers for the front 's do listen to Polk Audio's Monitor Series.
If you are in budget consider Monitor 50 priced at 20K/pair.
And Monitor 60 27k/pair in chennai.(price in Indian Rupees)
Really amazing speakers for music and Movies.

My friend has got an Onkyo HTS 590 and he's upgraded the fronts to Monitor 60 & it is Awesome.
Very Sensitive Speakers.
Happy Listening.

a) marantz pm7001 (25k)
b) denon pma700ae (18.5 - Grey)
c) sherwood rx-772(not bad at all) (20K)

Also I have shortlisted the following speakers:

Outlaw is a very popular receiver sold though the Net in the US. It has, in my mind, two issues.

1. Since it is sold through the Net, you can get it serviced or repaired by Outlaw, and this can be done only in the US.

2. I had exchanged some correspondence with them a few years back when I was contemplating buying their equipment. At least then there were not interested in looking beyond the US. Some of their products are really good, but what to do?

Cheers
