Onkyo 605 or 805? Orb Audio speakers and SVS sub

[bdanziger]

I am about to move into my new house and set up my living room. I plan to have a 56' Samsung DLP (5676, comes with 3 HDMI inputs). I also plan to order the Orb Audio speaker system (just their mod 2 speakers), I already have a SVS cylinder subwoofer. I am going to have a HD Cable box, Mac Mini, PS3, and a Xbox 360 hooked up to everything, but the mac mini and xbox do not need HDMI through the receiver, just the Tv. Therefore, the 2 HDMI inputs the 605 has will be fine. <p> I am just worried about sound and video quality. Will there be a big difference if I use the 605 instead of the 805? Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

The 605 should work fine with the Orb Sats, even if they are rated for 4 ohms (Orb Audio's site says they should work fine with most 6-8 ohm rated receivers and amplifiers, due to the efficiency of the drivers they say).

Do you think there will be a big difference in sound quality?
