Finally it starts! Snatched a refurb Klipsch center channel.

Stick with the Onkyo 606. Its a very good receiver. It has plenty of power and features. There is no point in going for the 706, only the 806 or 876 would be somewhat of an improvement with a lot more power a maybe a few more features. Also, dont concern yourself with torroidal power transformers. You wont notice a difference.

Do you mean that because I don't have speakers good enough to image the differences of the receivers that I won't be able to notice the differences between, say the Onkyo 606 and the Onkyo 806 with the Toroidal transformers? Or is there another reason? I'm not trying to be difficult, understand, it's just now I'm unfortunately more confused than ever when someone says that I should avoid a higher-end model because I won't be able to tell it apart.

As usual, thanks!
