Onkyo TX NR708

Excellent! I have been biting my nails for a week wondering if you were gonna get something soon! Just kidding...
I believe you will truly enjoy that thing once you get it setup and calibrated. A good receiver will be forgotten once you have it running as you like so you can simply enjoy the audio for video you got it to play in the firstplace.

I am seriously considering this:
(4) - Studio 20's and the CC V2 and the SVS PB12-NSD Driven Solely by the Onkyo for the 5.1 System.
AND
Keep the Studio 60's driven with the B&K Power Amp for my Stereo 2 channel listening???
What do you think, or should I just keep the 60's as part of the 5.1.
Way over thinking this................

Are you planning on having second system for 2-channel audio? If not, then I'd use the 60's as mains.
Then again, I don't even know why I posted this. I said buy a Denon; you bought an Onkyo. I said buy a 20 for your center channel and you bought a CC v2. :teasing-neener:
So yeah, buy 4 20's to use with movies, keep the 60's for music only, use your SVS for movies and buy a Hsu for music. Use your new Onkyo for movies but get a Yamaha for the music. Be sure to use a Harmony One remote for movies but buy a URC for when you listen to music. :laughing-rolling:

Thanks everyone for your support and advice! :text-thankyoublue:
I will still use the 60's as my mains in the 5.1 system powered by the B&K power amp. I have my eye on a B&K 3 channel power amp on ebay??? HUM???
Calibration and set up of the Receiver will be the next major task.
I also need to find the best Ceiling Mount for the Studio 20's. The Omini Mount looks like a good system, just concerned about screwing into the back of the 20's!

Well my plans were to set-up the system this weekend, and I will however the is a defect with the Onkyo. It is a cosmetic defect. A peice of debris under the front display lens. Appears to be a small flake of cardboard or paper. :angry-tappingfoot:
Shippint the unit back to Newegg for replacement.
Will continue with mounting the rear speakers and finishing up the Flexi-Rack.
THIS SUCKS!!

Not cool! :handgestures-thumbdown: That's why I always inspect everything for functional and cosmetic defects upon receipt even if it's weeks or months before install. Sorry to hear about this heeman...Just get into some other stuff this weekend

I have a 5.1 system with my FR & FL towers powered by a 2 channel Adcom, and center by a mono Marantz. (Denon receiver)
. . . It sounds very nice for stereo listening, or in 5.1 mode.
So I support Flints statements.

Maximo, no they haven't fixed the issue. They still run very hot. It has nothing to do with the actual amp section but the video processing chips that generate the most heat, hence why my suggestion on placing a fan on the back right side where those video chips are located.
