Onkyo intros HT-S5100, HT-S4100 and HT-S3100 HTIB systems

If the HT-SP908 and HT-SP904 systems that Onkyo brought you last fall were just slightly too rich for your blood, the firm is banging out a new trio of HTIBs that just might slide right into your budget. Starting things off is the top-end HT-S5100, which includes a 7.1-channel HT-R560 receiver with three HDMI inputs (and one output), Audyssey 2EQ room correction technology and 130-watts per channel to go along with the seven loudspeakers and single 290-watt powered subwoofer. With this one, you'll also find a dedicated iPod dock and charging station. As for the HT-S4100 and HT-S3100, both sets include five speakers and a subbie, but the latter system's earth-shaker gets powered by the receiver while the former has 200-watts of built-in oomph (and an iPod dock, too). The whole lot comes with a bundled remote and can be had in black or silver motifs, and as for pricing, you'll be looking at $579, $479, and $379, respectively.

That's great and all, but are they still not passing audio through HDMI? Are they upconverting? Onkyo has some fantastic products, but I'm gonna stop being impressed until those things are added to the list.

Don't expect HDMI audio with that type of price tag. It's a great buy for an entry level system. When I use to work at CC I'd recommend the Onkyo HTIB's all the time and then explained if they got real into audio that picking up a Onkyo 605 along the road would bring them up to speed with everything.

How do the specs of these HTIB receivers compare to their stand-alone line? It would be nice to know.
