Onkyo TX-SR608 vs. Onkyo HT-RC260 ?????????
« on: 19 May 2010, 06:46 am »
i used to have a 606, liked it but way too big,,,  the new 608 is a tad smaller and more powerful,  so its this or the rc260 or the 8555.

i think the audesey eq is most impressive to me, which may not be on the 8555,

ok so from what i can tell the new 608 is exactly the same as the rc260 except the rc260 is lacking a  pc vga? input and also lacks a sirius satalite radio input (bummer, not)  the only other thing i could see the rc260 was missing was the THX select 2 plus?????????

now i alsway thought the thx select 2 plus was just a sticker,,, am i missing something?

another main concern i have is pre outs.    both  above units have 2 sub outs and 1 zone 2 pre out?

and on the tx 8555 there is a sub out and a  pre out whch is perfect,,, so i worry the zone 2 pre out on the other units wont act as aormal pre out????????/

i need to make sure i have a good  analog pre out so that i can hook up my headphone amp.    it would be a plus to if it was affected by the volume and eq,, or even better had switch between fixed signal output and  volume contrlled output..     

know of any other worthy amp/ pre amps , etc like this??

is the rc260 exacttly the same?  is thx select 2 plus jjust a bogus sticker????????

thanks  i do appreciate the help
