i got the panasonic SA BX 500 reciever($720) to use in my games room running mordaunt short 908,s 905 center and 907 sub(the same setup as in my thearter room) hooked to a panasonic PX600 plasma and BD 30 BLURAY and i must say im very impressed with the reciever its hard to tell the difference from my marantz SR7002($2000) and was easy to setup as well all up im very happy with it

where did you buy it from?

got it from my local retravision store

Will this Receiver's Amp run a set of two, ex JVC floor mounted Stereo Speakers comprising each, 2.5" Tweeter, 5.0" Mid Range and 10.0" woofer, each fed by a Red & White bi-wire pair, currently from JVC Analog Amp, circa 1985?

Additionally can I run a new Sony Turntable (with switchable pre-amp & Red & White RCA plugs into a pair of the Audio Inputs)?

Some advice on the hookup/s would be appreciated ;)

If YES on both counts, I'll buy one ex Retravision or similar store. (No-one can give me a straight answer on this.)

My main "theatre" room is somewhat small and I've recently started upgrading with a Panasonic 42" Full HD Plasma TV, plus a Panasonic Blu-Ray Recorder/Player.

To go the whole 9 yards for Surround Sound, I'll need to buy new furniture for Stand plus reconsider room layout.

I'm relatively new to the AV revolution, but an old stager who learns fast (note lack of Jargon.)

i dont think you will have any trouble running those speakers as i run these ones http://www.mordauntshort.com/summary.php?PID=53 ,i would presume you can run the turntable maybe just go onto the panasonic aus web site and download the manual.all i know is im very happy with the amp

Thanks for that. I've currently d/loaded the manual & trying to figure the right connections. Maybe the guys at Retravision could confirm what I need to know. Incidentally, they have to order it in for $750.00. Poss take a couple of weeks?

Enjoy your Aust Day hol.
