I would not match this Pioneer with speakers, new or vintage with values lower than the ones I sited above.

The manual for the Pioneer is a bit more vague but I believe the 15 wpc into 8 Ohms rating is RMS too.īut to answer the second part of your question - 15 wpc would only be suitable for speakers of high impedance (8 ohms or higher) and high sensitivity (90db or higher). How they are measured can change and the Onkyo is measured using the toughest way - the RMS method across the entire frequency spectrum. The definition of a watt is still the same today as it was in the 70's.

This is an audio myth - there is no such thing as a vintage watt. How would one gauge "vintage watts" with the Pioneer? What would 15 vintage Watts translate to when buying new speakers? If/when I buy new speakers, with the Onkyo the speakers should be rated to 70 Watts per channel. If I am understanding this correctly, the Onkyo integrated amp (thanks, Paraneer) has more than enough power for the Realistic speakers. Now that I have a "real job" I am looking for a better sounding setup with smaller speakers (so I will have room for my ever-expanding vinyl collection.also being rebuilt after the flood). I don't really have any complaints about the setup it's been good for the past 12 years. The labels on the speakers read as follows: Right now I have a Dual CS-514 (I lost my Sota Sapphire in a basement flood.sadness.), an Onkyo 5-CD changer, a Sonoro Elements table top radio, and some floor speakers I bought from my University room mate for $13 and a beer about 12 years ago. What I am hearing is that unless I need the tuner (radio function?), the Onkyo is better in terms of specs. I would agree that the Pioneer is definitely sexier than the Onkyo in terms of looks. It’s a clever, feature-packed performer that we urge you to consider.Thanks to all for your insight! I'm really looking forward to getting deeper into the wonderful sound world! Our usual starting price for individual CD players and streamers is £350 each, which makes this two-in-one machine so attractive as a gateway to building your hi-fi system. There aren’t many products that can spin CDs and stream files from one box, and not for such an affordable price either. We can see the Onkyo C-N7050 having a wide appeal. We’d like a more sophisticated display – two lines, at least – that gives more information in one glance. It scrolls very slowly, and the cut-off text can be frustrating to read. The player’s large display is easy to read from a distance, but its single line of scrolling text looks meagre. We’d definitely keep the remote in close reach – it’s simple yet intuitive to use – even if we have the control app at hand, too.

The Onkyo responds swiftly to any commands, whether from the unit’s buttons and dial, or the ones logically laid out on the remote control. The three main buttons – one each for CD, USB and Network – make switching between inputs quick and easy. The fascia is neat and orderly instead of flashy, with only basic controls planted on the brushed-metal front panel. The CD loading tray operates smoothly, with no judders or stutters, and the mechanism is pretty quiet.

Build quality is decently solid considering the price. The C-N7050 is well made with a nice finish in either black or silver.
