First decide if 9.2 vs. 7.2 channels is important to you. THen, go to onkyo usa website and you can compare receivers. I would compare the 3008 that I have and go down through the 1008, 808, 708. Stick with one of those. You can use the compare tool to see what features are important to you. Check amazon for pricing. The 3008 I have is $1149 and that

[quote user="burantek"] Just a couple of quick thoughts as you both have used BS1's w/ non B&o panels. (I run two BS1's w/ BV4's as well as a non B&o room that uses a Denon AV receiver and a Panny plasma). Discounting the BS3... the only reason I would have a BS1 in the house is to run a BV4 panel. Otherwise, as you both

Hello! I would get rid of the BS1 promptly. You could ebay it for prob USA $400 or so, maybe more if in really good condition, if you include the IR eye and remote. You could buy a really nice Onkyo (mine was $1149 on amazon) or even the NR-1008 or NR-808 (7.2 channel), and there are other models too with preouts for not much more and you will be much

[quote user="Doctor"] I see from your post in the Beogram 3000 thread that you seem to be gravitating to the realisation that B&O led the world in the late sixties and early seventies and have been slipping since! A number of us would appear to have come to same conclusion! [/quote] I do have a fondness more for the vintage systems. My

Oh I almost forgot to mention that I was able to purchase some powerlink to male RCA adapters from soundsheavenly.com. I had run powerlink cables to all the speakers (fortunately one indicidual wire to each speaker from the receiver for surround). Each end needed a powerlink-RCA adapter.

Here's a picture of mine! I had to delay shipment for a bit but it will come soon!

There may be a difference with my receiver and yours...as far as the # of seating positions. In between positions during the testing I had to run upstairs and tell my kids to "BE QUIET!"

For music stereo sources just use the "music" button in the middle to cycle through speaker config, or just change it to "pure audio" on the receiver and you will get proper 2.1 or 2.2 channel playback. Just did this with my turntable and sonos. Also I did the Audessey and only did 3 placements (sitting positions) but it only took

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] Same problem here, and with my reading glasses mounted i cant see the TV, and I have to find out why. I bought an Onkyo TX-NR 708, and its set up with an LG 42", BG 5000, computer, Sky, blue ray, BL 8000 front and some noncoms back, it works ok, but for listening to the radio, vinyl and music CDs, I

[quote user="Doctor"] Pleased you are happy. I am not surprised as the BeoSystem 1 was getting old and clearly lacked the adaptability of the Onkyo. How do you find the remote? Most other makes seem to have too many buttons and are plastic which is one of the main things I would miss if I changed brands. [/quote] I actually like the remote
