lol,anyone who buys any electronics should go to a place that actually has the product so you can test it out before you plop a few weeks of pay down.Check reviews on audio forums too. Your ears might actually prefer the sound of a $500 setup over a $1000 setup. ---

How do the yamaha 661/861 stack up against the onkyo 605/705/805? I like the Ipod integration on the yamaha. I don’t know if the onkyo has this feature. Is the 661 too budget a setup for 600 series B & W (683 f, htm61 c, 686 r)? ---

onkyo does have the ipod integration, along with sat radio and a bunch of other things. be prepard to pay for B&W speakers, but you get what you pay for 🙂 ---

Are you saying that I should stick with onkyo then? Any good reason to step up from 705 to 805? I don’t think the extra power helps me, they both have 3 HDMI inputs etc. It looks like I would pay roughly $600 for the 705 or $800 for the 805. ---

you are going to want to over watt the B&W speakers, basically the 600 series is rated at 125, this is me going off the top of my head, personally I would go 150 peak to each, but other than that there isn’t much of a difference. I would get which you can find at a better price ---

Im sorry i dont deal with apple crap, so i cant comment on the adaptor. I went with the 805 cause i got a great deal on it, also for the video bandwidth, but that shouldent stop you from getting the 705 as they are pretty much the same, the 705 has a bit less power also. ---
