    Hi Guys.

    I'm considering the Samsung AVR720 black – AV Receiver.

    However I have no budget for speakers (or a receiver really) at the moment.

    I mainly run a HTPC (in fact entirely) and have a samsung panel (hence the added attraction of anynet support over hdmi with tv and the receiver).

    So my question is would this be a good fit ? considering I'll have windows 7 availble for doing the decoding in software.

    Also - at the moment I have a 5.1 unit (old all in one panasonic thing) with 6 ohm speakers could I use these speakers until I get around to upgrading ?

    I've often considered a set of Logi z5500 should i Just hold out for that ?

    Thanks for the help.

    Can i could i connect 5.1 6ohm speakers (including passive bass) to the samsung avr-720 ?

    Would it be safe to connect 7.1 6ohm speakers to it ?

    Thanks
    Kevin

    Thanks Ritzy...

    Apologies for the delay getting back to you - I don't see any problem with using ye olde speakers for the meantime - however the passive sub won't work too well and the AV-R720 as it requires an amplified active subwoofer ( You could attach it via the front speaker outs but I would not recommend this :confused:).

    Thats the link to the manual - have a read and if you need any further assistance just drop me a line and I'll do my best to help out,
