Topic: Onkyo HTS3400 vs HTS5405 or separates (2.1)

[jgngo]

Is the powered subwoofer on the HTS5405 worth the extra cash? Or could I just get the 3400 and upgrade the subwoofer later. I read in other forums that you can't upgrade the 3400's passive subwoofer? Does that mean something will go wrong if I plug in a powered subwoofer to the 3400?

An alternative might be to buy separates. What would you recommend? I actually don't need surround and it's just a small room. 2 front and 1 subwoofer will be enough.

walang tatalo s separate lalo n kung hi end speakers nd invest s ampli. best route po un ganito. 2.1 muna then later on add on. kung ok sau mga second hand, maka tipid k talga and much better s 3400

i have 3400 nd a small room, overkill po talaga. malakas po un 3400 onkyo.

hi guys up ko din to. which one is better? S3400 or S5405?

thanks

mas ok ang S5405 coz active ang subwoofer nya. But if u are in a tight budget, pwede na rin ang s3400. depende rin yan sa room size mo sir.

I decided to get the 5405 in the end. The difference between the two models is about 6k. I figured that the 6k gives me an active subwoofer and a USB input which the 3400 does not have. I am quite happy with the sound quality. I didn't bother installing the surround speakers.

I was able to plug in my iPod to the receiver and you could control it either via the iPod or the Onkyo remote.

Since I'm not using the surround speakers, I'm planning to sell that and the front speakers so I can get larger front speakers.

bakit hindi option ang suround?
even in small room you can install small sattelite speakers as surounds..
