    Doesn't even compare :) We're talking night and day difference :)
    Sound will be punchier, more spacious, go louder, clearer and you will think you're so glad you upgraded...

    cheers,

    Well, the Denon one seems to be ok, and the onkyo. The yamaha ones are micro system, so it won't be as good as a dedicated system.

    The second hand gear I didn't know was second hand. However, it does sound like a good deal...

    The ONKYO might be just that little bit better, but the Denon one is good aswell :)

    Ok, do you know if it has active subwoofer?

    Sorry for all these questions haha, i just want the best for my budget.

    edit: Ok i found out it has a active subwoofer.

    Now my final question, Onkyo set or the second hand system??

    Well, I don't buy second hand speakers, but others here do, so it should be ok. Remember, unless you know the previous owners, you're not gonna know how hard they've been pushed or if there is a problem with the woofer etc... Buying brand new is alot safer, even though it might not be as good sound. Go the ONKYO imo, it looks great and the specs are very good :)

    regards,
    RagDoll.

    That will be great, congrats :) Take time to set it up, don't rush, and once is all up and running, there are settings we can advise you to get even better sound. The sub placement is key to good bass, along a wall and it increases, diagonal to a corner of a room will give you the best bass, usually :) Also, don't run even half full volume for a couple of days, this is called the burn in period, because the drivers need to ease up a bit when they're brand new :) One last thing is, crossover settings, but we will come to that once you've got your new gear :)

    Cheers,
    RagDoll.

    Thanks for helping me!

    Maybe something important you want to know, i have a quiet small room.

    I think i can also use my speaker stands from my HT, or is it best to hang it on the wall? (i have mine at the wall atm)

    I have an Onkyo TX-NR807 sitting around if you want to buy it. It's a pretty stout unit. Just had the HDMI board replaced/upgraded.

    If it's a small room, then wall bracket them. That's how I've got my back speakers :) works great :)

    cheers,

    Speaker postioning can make or break a speaker system.

    How are you going to be connecting the receiver to your PC?

    Well the multi-channel input is a great way to go. However, if you are refering to a vanilla Titanium, I would go with something a little newer and higher end.
