Hi all, I'm looking at getting an Onkyo receiver, either the 515 or 616. There may even be a possibility of a second hand 906. What should I do, pay a little more for the 616 or pay a lot more for 906 (double the price) I have Epos m5i front and centre, eltax ht2 surrounds and wharfedale sw150 sub. I would love to here your thoughts. The amp is for movies but I really do want decent quality music. Look forward to hearing from you 
All depends on your needs and your finances really. I have owned two Onkyo A/V Receivers, and think they are very good. I originally owned a 605, but then downgraded to the 308 that I currently own as it meets my needs perfectly, no more no less.
