I have this in 5.1 setup, and as my first 5.1 system, I'm impressed with the quality. Its a good 'budget' system, that most regular home movie viewers will fine more than covers what they need.
For those that build dedicated rooms, fit sound boards etc may not.
So for a good 98% of people, this system is pretty great.

First I have to order four 10' HDMI cables since my existing 6' cables won't be long enough to reach the sub. Such a pain to have hour 6' cables laying around with nothing to do.
Damn Harry, you have a hell of a media setup at your place.

i would not risk it. Talk to Onkyo about it. The system is designed for 6 ohms. Most dedicated amps can handle various impedance. The output power also varies accordly. So on a amp 4ohms could be 100W but using 8ohms will only give you 75W.
Talk to Onkyo. It could invalidate your warrenty!

I'm quite happy with this system. I needed something not too expensive and as space saving as possible, so having the subwoofer and the AVR in one pice was most convenient. I use the provided speakers as rear speakers -well, not currently, have to rewire stuff in that room- and Q Acoustics 2010 and 2000c for the front / center. I'm pretty happy with the price / quality / space usage relationship.
