Hi,
I am looking into buying my first receiver and 5.1 speaker system. I currently have a Philips Home Theater in the Box which sounds fine to me, but doesn't have enough ports for all of my devices.
I have a Comcast cable box, Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. I am basically looking for a receiver so I can plug them all into one device via hdmi that I can control with my logitech remote. Currently I am fumbling with remotes, adapters, jerry-rigged cables, etc. I just want a cleaner setup.
I am not much of an audiophile, like I said, my HTIAB sounds just fine imo, and it's just a $100 system. I recently got my tax refund though, and would like to buy a decent setup to replace it.
Looking on amazon I found the following receiver and speaker sets, which got good reviews:
Edit: Sorry I can't post URLs since this is my first post, but I am looking at these on amazon:
Receiver = Onkyo TX-SR507 5.1-Channel A/V Surround Home Theater Receiver (Black)
Speakers = Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black)
My question is, are these fairly good for a basic entry level home theater setup? Is there anything else I would need? I believe I already have the HDMI cables necessary.
Thanks in advance experts
