Why would you need to replace your speakers? If you have a 5.1 setup, you
don't need to move to 7.1. You can still run it in 5.1 mode.
Yeah, I went to Circuit City, they have the Onkyo SR606 which is what I
think I'm going to get. It's about $150 more than my budget, but it also
will last through everything I'm eventually planning on getting, and it
supports sound over HDMI instead of just passthrough (Which I believe
means I'd need to use a separate cable for sound?)
If the 506 can get it's sound through HDMI I might get that instead, it's
$150 cheaper.
And you're right about speakers. The shape of the speaker connector threw
me off. There is no need to replace my current speakers. In fact, I
could take my 5.1 system and convert the back speakers into front speakers
and use a wireless rear set in the future.
Any of this not make sense?
