Good to know. I may just use an IR extender if need be.

I went ahead and ordered this setup. I just wish the 3 remaining channels were available in the US though.

Does anyone have recommendations for the 3 extra channels to make this a complete 5.1 system? 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.

Shipping from the link in post 1 is $170. Yes $170 for a 20 lb box from England. Hence the reason I was looking for somewhere to purchase within the U.S.

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

You'll be fine going from 6 ohms to 8 ohms as long as not 8 ohms to 6 ohms! Smile

Ah so a 6 ohm amp can drive 8 ohms speakers Confused

Excellent. Wish I could find a 3 channel setup to avoid the overpay on the 2 extras.
