Im looking into getting some 6.1 speakers for my new receiver. Onkyo has a set that is reasonably priced but ive never heard their speakers, specifically the sks-ht510 or 520. Any body have those or that has hear them? Any input and/or other suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Let your ears be the judge. What someone else finds pleasing to the ears might not satifsy you. Go to a store if you can to try them out and bring a CD you know really well. THat will aide the best in your decision.

i've never used their speakers, but purchased their stereo equipment in the past and it's top notch quality.

I have the 5.1 version of the set you are looking at (I think it's the same set anyways). Personally, I love them. They produce great sound. They aren't the smallest speakers in the world, but sometimes that's why they are able to produce good sound at a low price.

I bought a refurb'd subwoofer from them last year. Works great and I'm very happy with it. They ran out of stock and it took 2 months to get it, but no problems since.

Yeah I have that same 6.1 setup and for the price they are good speakers. Every site that I've seen that has reviews on them gave them great remarks for their price. Pair them with a decent receiver and it makes even more of a difference.

Yeah I have the 5.1 versions also and they are very nice sounding, but it's not like I've heard a bunch of different brands. Still, I have no complaints about them.

Same here. Mine's a pretty old one though (only dolby digital ready) and I'm about to upgrade. More than likely it will be Onkyo for me again.
