Hi all, After reading all the info in this forum. Have really gained alot of knowledge on amps, speakers and HTS. But it might be a little too late as I have already committed to 5 mirage prestige satellite speakers for my HTS. Will be running on onkyo 609. My oc only permitted me to mount small speakers on the wall. Problems are as follows 1) seems like no one talk much on mirage speakers,. Is it because of it's limitation due to it's size? I was recommended to use one of it to run as center speaker by Harvey Norman sales rep. I was blown away, at least it is enough based on my expectation. 2) based on what I have read, it seems like 609 will not be sufficient to power up the speakers. I'm also running on mm8 mirage woofer. Kindly advice if mirage can add as center speaker. Or should I change to other brand for the center speaker? Provided my amp can power up all the speakers. Can any kind soul advise me if I should change my 609 to 709(can add on another amplifier)or straight away go for 809?(able to power up all the speakers with this amp?). I will stick to onkyo amp. Although 609 and above can support up to 7.2. I will stick to 5.1 setup. Thanks in advance.
