Onkyo TX-NR905 with JBL ES Series Speakers??

[CherasMcGyver]

Good day.

Has anyone coupled Onkyo TX-NR905 receiver with the following 5.1 JBL speakers?

ES-90 (8" Front)
ES-25 (5" center)
ES-10 (4" Surround)
ES-250 (12" 400W Sub)

Appreciate anyone comment using JBL speakers or suggestions.

Welcome to the forum. That setup would work fine, but the 905 seems overkill for those JBLs. What's your budget? Where do yo live, country, apt, house? Size of your space?

My budget is less then US$3K. Space is app. 11'Hx 20'Dx 25'W. From Malaysia.
Just came back tested Jamo C600 series. The sound quality was pretty impresive on a Onkyo 705 which drives 175W. I like the bipole surround and their hard conical cone technology. JBL doesn't carry any bipole. Will test the JBL this weekend.

What other speaker choice with such budget? Appreciate suggestion. Thanks
