So if I plug some very cheap yamaha speakers rated at 100 wpc max along with a VP150 center into the Onkyo TX-SR805 it won't hurt the Yamaha speakers? Thanks for all of your help!!!

It won't hurt the speakers if your listening at levels that don't cause hearing damage. I have the Onkyo 805, had it for over a year now with no problems.

DG - what speakers are you running with your Onkyo 805?

Thanks!

I believe this is the set he posted the picture of earlier.



KIDDING, of Course!!! [/size]
Sorry, my friends kid just got this for his birthday and I've been waiting for an opening.

Hahaha, yep thats the one! Don't laugh they have sounded really great for the last four years. 4 ohms, 300 watt max speakers.

No really the speakers I have are the Yamaha NS-AP4400. Cheapo. Time to upgrade. Have the VP150, M60's next. Just ordered the Onkyo TX-SR805! Can't wait to get it. I am sure I will be dying to upgrade the rest of our speakers as soon as I plug it in though. Thanks for everyone's help!

I think you'll definitely get the itch once you have a receiver that's not creating the distortion you mentioned. The VP150 will stand out and the Yamaha's will start to limp along behind

HT gear is an addictive hobby. The good news is you have a great center channel to start with and you'll love the M60's when you're ready. When the time is right, get some QS8's and start saving up for an EP500 to complete the experience

Every time I sit down to a movie I remember how lucky I am to have the same setup.

Man, i can't wait for the day when I have the M60's and the QS8's. Looking at a HSU sub. Any thoughts?

I'm certainly interested in the new ULS-15. The good news is that I have no money for them yet (figure I need to get a pair, at least), so in my waiting there will be time for a lot more people to comment on them.

Wow, that's a big one. Was looking at the VTF-2 MK3. Way down the road for me though, still have to get my other speakers first.

The sub market is flourishing with great inexpensive subs, Axiom, SVS, Hsu, epik, elemental Designs just to name a few. Pick which ever one you feel is the right size and price from any of the usuall suspects listed on the AV boards and you won't go wrong.
