Kev,

the best we can do on the Boston XS 5.1 with the Onkyo TXNR515 is £484.95 delivered,

on your queries:

1. Yes the 515 supports LCPM no problem

2. The Bostons are a What Hifi award winner - have a look at the review here (tested at £350): http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Boston-Acoustics-Soundware-XS 

3. We don't normally stock the additional speakers - however on the last series they retailed at £99.95 for the additional pair and I would guess they are approx the same price - I'd be happy to quote this no problem if you wanted to go for a ful 7.1 setup.

4. we have had very few problems with either the TXNR515 or the Boston packs, especially given the volume of these units that we have sold - but they are both covered by a 2 year return to base warranty and we do a 5 year supercare warranty ( http://www.richersounds.com/information/warranties ) for 10% of the purchase price if you want additional comfort.

5. the 515 is rated at 7 * 100 Watts into 8 Ohms (which is a conservative rating)

6. I agree but the 616 does provide a significant upgrade at £569.95..

All available from stock if you would like to order?

Keep us posted,

ATVB,
