I wonder out all that has made comments here about the system actually owns one?

Blueray, since the receiver is built into the sub, does this mean the sub needs to be viewable for IR signals? I don't really have any room by the entertainment center, so the sub would need to be in the rear of the room. But the idea of having to point my remote in the far corner does not appeal.I'm not 100% sure what type of IR it has for "Pre-Pro/Learning Remote" option in their spec. You might want to give Onkyo a call to confirm it.
Thanks.

I mean its impossible to the the extra speakers in the U.S., and buying from Europe is insanely pricey. Being that the amp is for 6 ohm speakers it is very limited with what might work. But I'd love to hear about other solutions people have come up with.Sorry for the late reply, you can find the 3 matching surround speakers in post #1.

It is ridiculous that Onkyo doesn't sell these in the U.S.
