The sweet spot in Onkyo's lineup by J. Schenck
I did a lot of research after returning the Harman Kardon 154 I purchased locally. I was not happy with the HK 154 because I didn't realize at the time I purchased it that it would not convert composite to HDMI. I did not want to run composite cables from my receiver to the TV. This Onkyo model will do the analog to digital conversion so I can run the Wii through this system and still just use the HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV. I did end up also adding an optical connection from the TV to the Onkyo so I could pipe the cable TV sound from the TV through the sound system. This is the lowest end model from Onkyo that does analog to digital conversion.



So, the sound. I bought the Klipsch HDT1000 speaker bundle with this receiver. After going through the simple microphone based setup (included with this Onkyo) the sound is truly stunning. The clarity and fullness of sound is amazing. I can clearly distinguish subtle nuances in the movies from one speaker to another. It's as full as the sound system in a typical theater and sounds crisper than the theaters. I'm sure this system could get loud enough to break windows but I'm really enjoying the fact that I get incredible sound at lower volume levels.



The Onkyo 607 and Klipsch HDT1000 setup was a bit more money than I had originally planned on spending on a home theater but I have no regrets. I obsessed over this for a few weeks and did a lot of research. No regrets on buying this equipment.
