I live in South America and im a home theater's fan, i was looking for a home theater in a box and i decided for Onkyo S770 but i had a little big problem: the weight, i have to pay almost 1000 bucks for bring the system to my country, thats why im lookig for a lighter alternative, i think that Panasonic SA-XR50S with JBL SCS160SI can be a good alternative, not as good as Onkyo but weight many pounds less. Can someone give me advise if this equipment worth or not Thanks
Jim, the Panny might indeed be BETTER sounding than the Onkyo. Do a search for the XR-45 in "audio asylum" and see how many cudo's this digital amp is getting from audiophiles. The JBL's on the other hand, don't thrill me. Gotta be something more musical there than JBL, no?
