Hi all,

I'm looking to buy an Onkyo HT-S580 system.

Does anyone know websites that deliver to Ireland or stockists in Ireland that sell Onkyo, it seems to be pretty hard to find one.

Thx,
PK.
 
Hi,

Richer sounds in Belfast do Onkyo AV stuff so might be worth a look, they ship for 9.99 GBP.

I saw a couple of Onkyo boxes in Harvey Norman before Christmas, when I was browsing there, but I didn't notice the model. Sorry!
 
These are distributed in ireland by www.zebradistribution.ie contact them for the info you require, not sure if the site is alive but there is contact details, hope it is of some use to you.
 
Munster sounds in cork also sell them.
But IMO you may be better off ordering from the UK
AV-Sales or Acton Gate Audio stock them and deliver to Ireland.

Although richersounds postage is prob less...

Hi Pique,

Are you fully decided on this model? A quick trawl through the net suggests to me that you can do better. Some reviews are very negative.
 
Hi Gebbel,

I 'was' aiming for this one as I don't want a DVD player but want a good 5.1 amp & speakers.

I read some very good reviews myself, but I don't want to blow big cash on a system that isn't all it's cracked up to be.

if you can you point me in the direction of a similar or better system for good money, I'd appreciate it.

I got my info from here -

and
http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S580-theater-audio-system/dp/B0009ME4V0

as well as other, less in depth, reviews.
 
I bought . Not sure if the price is competitive with the Onkyo, but it really is a fantastic piece of kit. I already had a HD DVD player that I hooked up to the amp. Sound quality really is amazing. Speaker stands are very stylish. Maybe one for you to consider.
 
Thanks for that but I don't think there's enough inputs for me on that. I want to ensure that it's future-proof.

I think the HT-S580 is now replaced by the HT-S590.

Then don't buy the Onkyo. Unlike the Sony it has no HDMI input/ outputs.

If you want to avail of HD, you need to make sure the DVD player you have / will have is equipped eith "HDMI" or "component out / RGB" ( 3 RCA plugs). As well as this, your TV will need the same inouts to receive a HD signal. Also bear in mnid that a atandard DVD player will onyl give around 576 lines of resolution anyway, so not quite HD. You need Blue-RAy for this. A digital out coaxial usually connects the DVD to the amp.

Hope this helps. There are other superb pieces of kit out there (Pioneer / Marantz) that do the job just as well, and are more readily available, if you're not stuck with Onkyo (which are really good anyway).

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong Sony with an onboard DVD.

Probably too late for the original poster and not the specific model that they were looking for but [broken link removed] have an Onkyo offer today.

Good spot Clubman - however, a note of caution on iBOOD prices - there are not always the cheapest - I searched quickly on google and found that Onkyo model available for €265 euro
 
Good man CM, I'm still on the lookout and that is an excellent price !

I know that iBood may overstate the original price but I can't find that system for anything less that 449.

The Amp is the HT-R508, the Speaker package is the HTP-450A.

The entire package is the HT-S508.

In case you don't already know iBOOD offers are one day only. If you don't get this today then it's gone!
