Onkyo SKS-HT588(B) 5.1.2 Channel Home Cinema Speaker System (6-piece), Dolby Atmos Capable, 130 Watt Power Handling, 80 Watt Active Subwoofer, Surround Speaker Wall-Mountable, Black

Product Information

As seven speakers can be set up with this receiver there are seven outputs for seven speakers. Also, in case you have powered subwoofers then there are pre-amplifier outputs for a maximum of two subwoofers. But there is also an alternative if the option to add speakers on your ceiling is out of the question. Manufacturers understand that your house is not an ideal environment as a cinema is so they had to become creative in this regard. And for this reason they created front speakers with an extra driver that are targeting the ceiling of you room. The sound that emits from these up-firing drivers will bounce on the ceiling and will come down to you as if they would originally come from the top. Now this technology may not produce the same results as having dedicated ceiling speakers, but it gives most people an alternative if they are not able to place these extra sound sources.

Onkyo SKSHT588 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Speakers Review | HME

There are so many brands out there at the moment from very cheap to crazy expensive and a lot of questions that i get from people are what are the best speakers to buy for a Home Cinema system. Let’s make it clear right now. There is no such a thing as best speakers so don’t loose your sleep over it. If you are in the mainstream category as most people are then probably you are tight on budget and although you want to have a quality speaker setup you don’t want to pay an extreme amount of money to have it. So, set your mind if you are willing to go with it or not. But one thing for sure this receiver won’t make you disappoint you at all. FAQ Now this technology is an interesting one especially if you consider how much trouble it can save you from adding more speakers and more cables around your house but as with everything there is a catch. As the sound doesn’t originate from the ceiling and is based on the bouncing effect the overall result feels less accurate, not as pronounced and the Atmos effects have less elevation at best. With PS5 all is working but i think it’s only because PS5 doesn’t support dolby vision…the only thing i can’t understand is that if i connect the ps5 directly to the tv the output is rgb 12b 4l8, but if i connect it to the sync box it will be YCBCR422 8b (like the fire cube with the enhanced dolby enabled). The center speaker includes dual 8cm woofers plus a 2.5cm tweeter. It also has theoretical power of 130W. I like the size of this speaker. I had in the past a few oversized center speakers that looked really huge. This one i would say is almost at perfect size for a medium sized Home Entertainment System. I would like it to be just a bit bigger but I have no problem as it is as it has enough power to give you clear sound even at a distance.Want to lose with your favorite music or want to have a life-like movie experience! This receiver just does the exact thing for you. Set up the home theater of 5.2 channel or 7.2 channel whatever you like with this receiver and see the real change in the performance. Number of speaker channels. The higher the number the greater the number of surround speakers. "Point" 1 indicates a subwoofer channel. 5.1.2 is for Dolby Atmos systems.

Onkyo TX-SR494 Review

The realism, detailed, clear sound, and rich bass you can expect if your receiver is compatible with these. And the good news is that TX-SR494 absolutely supports all these. Like other receivers, it doesn’t contain many inputs. This is sometimes problematic but most of the time this is great as you don’t need to face any messy input system. The surround speakers offer single 8cm cones each, with theoretical power of 130W. These speakers really are very light and you should be careful where you place them because it is very easy to fall over since they can either be mounted on a base or on the wall.
