Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Sony ES vs Onkyo

Your propably right. The 777ES seemed to hum right along. To be honest I think almost all of the big manufactures over rate there wattage. Sony would be no exception. Although If I'm not mistaken for whatever reason they seem to list there seperate amps a little more truthfully.

I'm sorry. I'm a straight up individual.
Ok, some Sony products are good. I've had bad luck with Sony in the past.

I see you don't have you avatar now.Are you now looking for a happy face .

lol It was starting to freak me out a little so I ditched it. Not sure what I will get next. How come I can't see yours either?

If I were you I would stay away from the Onkyo, I was looking at the 601 and almost bought it till someone from ecoustics forum show me that the Onkyo stuff are way over-rated, even the higher up version 901 rated at 110w x 7 only capable of putting out about half, and the test report from Sound & Vision tested the clipping occur at 50w!!! save your money and consider Harmon Kardon or Denon.

check out the test reports: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/3401/ratevsac.htm

I don't know,I see it.

Wid, your avatar just shows a red X in recent posts. Note that the URL on your avatar changed from this :

to this :

Looks like a partial address, maybe an unintentional edit ?

I changed yesterday does it not show a avatar?

>> changed yesterday does it not show a avatar?

Yes if your avatar is a small square with a red X in it. No if your avatar is anything else

Find a way to get a Denon 3805 in your price range. I'm very happy with my Harman Kardon AVR 230 (don't be fooled by the very conservative Watts Per Channel ratings - HK receivers have plenty of power), but wish I had the video upconversion of the Denon 3805.

As for the TV, if that is a Sony WEGA LCD screen it is the best picture out there. Every store my wife and I went into we could look around and pick the best picture and that was what we picked. One problam with them - get the warranty - to include bulb replacement. Sony has had problems with the bulbs and although you are covered for a year under the Sony warranty, when my bulb burned out (after 3 weeks) the bulbs were on backorder and it would have taken several weeks to get the new bulb in from Sony. At that point Circuit City said "Since you purchased it, the price of the TV has dropped $150 - we'll apply that to the 4 year service contract price of $399. So your choices are 1) wait until the bulb comes in from Sony, or 2) Pay $249 and have somebody at your house within an hour (on a Sunday) with a replacement bulb from another manufacturer - and you can know that any other problems like this will be solved in your home on the day of the call (if possible) for 4 years. Needless to say, I coughed up the $$$ and the replacement bulb has lasted 8 months so far...
