About this deal

The center speaker includes dual 8cm woofers plus a 2.5cm tweeter. It also has theoretical power of 130W. I like the size of this speaker. I had in the past a few oversized center speakers that looked really huge. This one i would say is almost at perfect size for a medium sized Home Entertainment System. I would like it to be just a bit bigger but I have no problem as it is as it has enough power to give you clear sound even at a distance. But the setup would work best in a medium-size room. But as audio taste differs from person to person. You make your home theater set up where you are most comfortable. Great Alternative Receivers Suddenly the dolby vision issue is still present for me, every time i have to enable the “enhanced dolby vision” that downgrades the picture quality to a standard HDR (i suppose) but the light sync works well, without that option enabled the lights won’t sync. The receiver is a combination of the amp, pre-amp, input selection, tuner so many things. Perfect for home theater, music and others. Simply it decodes the input signal and makes the signal more powerful and great.

Now when it comes to 2 overhead speakers all AV receivers/amplifier provide several placement options in their setup. These can be either on top of the front, in the middle of your listening area, on top of the surrounds or even placing them on the wall above the front speakers. The best placement for only two ceiling speaker is certainly in the middle of your listening area as they will be able to cover more space in your home theater. But as always this also depends on your room. 5.1.2 speaker setup Pioneer and Onkyo are 2 companies that have created some low cost, entry level 5.1.4 and 5.1.2 setups with up firing speakers integrated in the main speakers. Though the connection is few whatever it contains is sufficient for anyone. Both for audio and movie holic this receiver is all in one. The av-cabinet is damn low, it looks like you have to watch down to look tv. This is something you might want to upgrade sooner rather than later. Wall mounting tv is highly recommended when you got full picture where you are putting each speakers.And as time goes by we see this becoming more and more usual in soundbars also. Soundbars in general are for those that want an easy to use setup or for those that don’t have the necessary space to go for a full dedicated audio system. And we can see now that manufacturers are using up-firing drivers in their new models also showing that this technology is not smokes and mirrors but can really provide a genuine, even if not the same in quality, Dolby Atmos experience. The connections are sufficient for pairing with several devices or speakers. For a receiver, it is not mandatory to have lots of connections when a few can cover the whole connection system.

Under a decent budget with lots of impressive features, Onkyo TX-SR494 is really an amazing receiver. The simplicity in the setup but high power of 160 watts per channel worth to be praised. In the beginning these were few and far between but now you can find plenty of designs, either in a floorstanding design or bookshelf speaker. Many manufacturers like Dali, Monitor Audio or KEF are even making dedicated Atmos speakers that are designed in such a way that you can either attach them on the ceiling or place them directly on top of your floorstanding or bookshelf speakers if you prefer to go for an up-firing Dolby Atmos system and look as an extension of your main speakers. have your unit serviced as often as you wish, free of charge, during the 6 year period. (Normally excluded from extended guarantees). Making sure the quality of sound remains high throughout the range, the centre and rear speakers are acoustically matched to the fronts. The crucial centre speaker is a two-way, bass reflex design that offers crisp, detailed sound that's essential for clear dialogue.
