Thoughts on my 805 situation

[bobsticks]

So what's next L.J.? With the Denon and mid-level Onkyos out where do ya go from here? I have been trying to convince myself into looking at some of the hi-level Onks but it just seem likes a waste to spend that much extra for wattage I'll never use, especially with no guarantee of improved processing. That constant law of trade-offs...

Not sure....maybe the Pioneer Elite 91TXH. It seems that both Onkyo and Integra have similar issues with speaker popping. No HDMI problems with the Denon 2807 or Yamaha 661 I tried out. Not sure what's up with Onkyo but they say it's normal. If they do get it figured out, I'd pick up another 805 and be done with it.

The Denon 2808 has been delayed until Sept. and the 3808 is pushing it with that $1599 price tag. Although I heard it was selling for about $1299 online, I don't wanna deal with that hassle. Yamaha should have the 1800/2800 out in a few months but I may have found a unit I like (and functions correctly) by then.
