Rafer Gluyas Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Hi, As the title suggests I've got the Onkyo DR-S501, with standard speakers, I've had it for a while and looking to upgrade the speakers - the original review that put me onto this system (https://www.whathifi.com/au/news/review-onkyo-dr-s501-home-cinema-system-ps400) always suggested that I should replace the speakers, but I never go around to it - and now I reckon I might get around to it. Any suggestions from the floor? In around $1k price point Edited July 9, 2021 by ArgyVonBargy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTobiasFunke Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Assuming you're looking for 5.1 set and happy to go second hand..... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/wandi/speakers/energy-5-1-speakers/1277646500 That's on gumtree over in Perth somewhere. And would do a cracking job of HT duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafer Gluyas Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 The Onkyo DR-S501 supports 2.1 - so I'm looking for two speakers, not so fussed on the subwoofer if I can get decent speakers that handle the bass. As for brand new vs second hand - I'd be open to either, depends on what is available in my price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a list which you can look for used at your budget of $1k aim for things $2-3k rrp to get best bang for buck. When you see one for sale lookup reviews and try to have a listen. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/287992-sna-speakers-audition-short-list/ Edited July 11, 2021 by Al.M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
