YOU are asking ME how old I am and YOU are spelling "advice" by typing out "ADVISE"?

LOL....LOL......
Now now Lexmark, what is the matter with you? I have been on this board when you were still attending junior school. Now read the following very slowly.

advise, advice:
'advise' is a verb - it describes something you do: I advise you to take care. 'Advice' is a noun - it describes a thing: My advice is, be careful. This also applies to the other -ise, -ice pairs, such as practise and practice; -ise means a verb, -ice a noun.

Ok, back to the matter at hand, the Onkyo. Have you put it up on ebay yet? Isn't the Onkyo 601 the same receiver that does not even have automatic speaker calibration? That makes that receiver a total piece of CRAP IMHO.
Now be a man and take a hit if you have to on the Onkyo and buy yourself a real audio system for crying out loud. Buy the Denon 5804 or something!
