looking for a Receiver !

[domingos1965]

hello.
first post.
i have the 340's(LCR) and the 170 (Rears) and an eD5-350 SUB
Is the onkyo 605 good to drive these speakers(loud)?


thanks

For most circumstances, the 605 will be plenty. What size is the room and how far from the speakers at the LP?

LP is about 11 feet to 13 feet from front speakers and tv.
room is about 21x20x9 and its kinda open to kitchen and parlor

i have 1 more week to return the 605 if its not enough to drive the speakers

thanks a lot

Being open to the kitchen & parlor makes it iffy. What's between you and the speakers and how much sound absorption is there (drapes, rugs, furniture, etc.)

just 2 couches one on each side and 1 table(low) in the middle.
the room is carpeted.theres also a big glass sliding door.
u think i should get a better receiver(up to $800)?

thanks

I'd stick with what you have and if you need more juice, you can always add a separate amp. For my money, that's the most cost effective way to approach this.

The 605 does not have preouts, so you can't add an amp to it. There are places that have the 705 for around $650, and it has preouts, so you can add an amp later, if you want/need to. I am considering going this route. Also, you would really only need a 3 channel amp, for the fronts, and could use the 705 for the rear/sides.
