Onkyo TX-NR6100 with Dali SPEKTOR-1, SPEKTOR-1, SPEKTOR-VOKAL & C8D (Black)

”The TX-NR6100 continued to impress. The Onkyo had more than enough power on board to fill my room and produce realistic and dynamic transients.” ’AVForums’ – Recommended.

Premium home cinema – guaranteed by THX
Extensively tested, the Onkyo TX-NR6100 meets THX Select Certification. THX are a Californian company founded by George Lucas of Star Wars fame. To gain THX approval, products are bench tested to a rigorous level, covering every aspect of audio performance. Only a handful of products gain the THX certification, making it a true badge of honour for any home cinema product.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and DTS Neural:X for cinematic sound
Carrying on this Onkyo AVR’s cinematic appeal, it’s compatible with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Both formats use ceiling or upward firing speakers to deliver an immersive, multi-dimensional sound. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X make an overhead aircraft sound frighteningly realistic or a tropical storm a drenching experience. DTS Neural:X upmixes non-DTS:X signals, giving you a similarly enveloping sound with other sources.

Get the Atmos or DTS:X effect, without the extra speakers
It's not always possible to accommodate Atmos or DTS:X height speakers, which is when Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X come in handy. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers. DTS Virtual:X also creates a more enveloping sound from any DTS codec. Compatible with 2, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configurations, DTS Virtual:X gives a greater impression of height and immersive sound.

Klipsch Optimise Mode
Unique to Onkyo, the TX-NR6100 sounds even better when partnered with Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere speakers. Collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the implementation of precise crossover vales being incorporated into the Onkyo. This means that you get optimised sound quality, at the touch of a button.

Enhanced 8K HDMI compatibility
Upgrading on previous Onkyo receivers, the TX-NR6100 features three, 8K compatible HDMI inputs and twin outputs (HDMI 2 output in Sub Mode only). They support 8K pass-through, 4K/120Hz and eARC, making them ideal for connecting an 8K TV, the latest games consoles and more. This Onkyo also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3.

Ideal for gamers
As well as suiting 8K TVs, the latest HDMI 2.1 interface also helps give your gaming a boost. This facilitates a range of features, including 4K/120Hz HDR pass-through for ultra-fast motion. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) eliminates lag, stutter, and frame-tearing for fluid gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) optimizes latency from source to screen and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) limits lag for a smoother experience. Put together, they give you a massive gaming advantage.

Highly capable music streamer
Much more than just an AV receiver, the TX-NR6100 is also a fully comprehensive music streamer. From Apple AirPlay 2 to Chromecast and taking in ‘Works with Sonos’, this Onkyo AVR has you covered. Direct access to Spotify (Premium account required for full features), Amazon Music HD, TIDAL, Deezer and TuneIn are all available via the Onkyo Control App. There’s even DTS Play-Fi for multi-room expansion, TuneIn for Internet radio and two-way Bluetooth for local music streaming and headphone listening.

Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast
Ideal for Apple users, AirPlay 2 takes this popular wireless streaming format and makes it better. Controllable by simply asking Siri or using your Apple device, AirPlay 2 lets you effortlessly stream music and podcasts around your home – and all in perfect sync. Chromecast lets you stream music, podcasts and audio apps, including Google Play, at the touch of a button.

Voice control
The Onkyo TX-NR6100 works seamlessly with your Smart Home ecosystem. Control via Siri when using Apple Airplay. Alternatively, connect to a suitable Smart speaker and the receiver then also works with Alexa and the Google Assistant.

Works with Sonos
‘Works with Sonos’ certification means that this Onkyo seamlessly integrates with your existing Sonos system. Once connected to a compatible Sonos product (Sonos Port), you can group the receiver with other Sonos devices or use it independently. Working with Sonos means as soon as you start playing music from your Sonos app, the Onkyo switches on and automatically selects the correct input.

DTS Play-Fi for effortless streaming and multi-room
DTS Play-Fi is a premium, wireless control system that brings everything under one 'roof'. Download the free app and you'll not only have access to Internet radio but also popular music apps such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and Napster. As well as bringing all your streaming sources together, Play-Fi offers the potential for full multi-room music. Simply add other Play-Fi compatible sources and you'll quickly be able to build up a comprehensive music system around your home - all under the control of a single app.

Connect it all - from USB device to turntable
When it comes to connecting all your music and AV sources, this Onkyo has everything covered – including your turntable (with Moving Magnet cartridge). As well as the turntable input there are four line level ones – ideal for a CD player, music streamer and other music sources. There are also digital coaxial and optical inputs plus a front-mounted USB for media playback.

”The Spektor 1s are ideal if you’re looking for small, affordable speakers that deliver great sound.” ‘What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision magazine’. 5-star review. Tested at £160.

Compact and versatile speakers
At less than 24cm high, the Spektor 1 speakers are ideal for where space is tight. As well as making great stereo speakers for smaller rooms they also suit surround sound home cinema or quality desk-top systems.

Famous DALI design
Key to the Spektor's detailed, refined and powerful yet tuneful sound quality is the bespoke wood fibre bass woofer. Also used in its more expensive models, it gives a dynamic and precise sound. Partnering the impressive bass unit is a similarly high-performing treble unit. Soft dome construction gives upper notes a smooth yet precise sound, and when taken as a whole, the Spektor 1 is simply one of the most natural-sounding speakers at its price point.

Well-made and practical
As you'd expect from this high-end Danish speaker brand, the Spektor's are well made, with smooth edges and a choice of black or walnut effect finishes. At their best on stands, the Spektor 1s also feature brackets for wall mounting.

With the DALI Spektor 1, Danish sound just got better value than ever.

Bring out the best in vocals, with the DALI Spektor Vokal.

Taking centre stage
Designed to be the perfect sonic match for the DALI Spektor range but also impressive as a stand-alone centre speaker in other brand home cinema systems, the Dali Spektor Vokal centre speaker uses Dali technologies to great effect.

Articulate mid-range for crisp and clear dialogue
Essential qualities in a centre speaker are natural vocals and accurate dialogue. With its high quality drive units, that's exactly what the Spektor Vokal delivers. Made from a unique wood fibre material, these cones offer the perfect balance between light weight and rigidity. The outcome is an articulate mid-range that's especially expressive with vocals. Working in harmony with the woofers is a soft dome tweeter. This gives fine upper range detail while still managing to sound smooth and refined.

Well-made and practical
As you'd expect from this high-end Danish speaker brand, the Spektor's are well made, with smooth edges and a choice of black or walnut effect finishes. Rubber feet are supplied, helping to isolate the speaker from vibrations on your rack or cabinet.

Designed to work equally well with music and movies, the DALI C8D is a versatile sub.

Powerful sound
With a Class-D digital amplifier built-in, the C8D produces an immense 170 watts with peaks up to 220 watts. This low distortion amplifier provides the bass cone with a powerful, well-balanced sound that fills even the largest rooms.

More bass, less boom
Although the C-8 D is quite capable of going (very) loud, it’s musical, too. You get the impact you crave from action movies but, when listening to music, the C8D is subtle enough to let you hear the different textures from a bass guitar – rather than a single one-note bass boom. DALI’s famous paper fibre cone provides the flexibility here – making bass sound part of the music rather than apart from it.

Compact size
Despite its deep, rich sound, the DALI C-8 D is easy to accommodate. The neat, cube-shaped sub is ideally placed in the corner of your room – perhaps behind the TV. Finished in subtle black it also blends seamlessly with your TV and other components.
