It's much nicer to look at than the current line-up, I wonder if it runs as hot?
Who knows when they'll show up in the UK?
Too late for me tho, I have a hankering for a black TX SR875. THX2, Reon 1080p & enough high quality musical ability - as opposed to being 'just' a movie soundtrack blaster (which I think is where the 605, 606, 705 & 805 fell down) - to encourage a purchase.
I'm just waiting on the discount voucher to arrive (Richer Sounds do some excellent 'VIP' member offers for those in the UK that are interested, they are doing £100 off their nice list price of the 875 - which comes with a std 3yr warranty here).
Well, I've heard a lot of praise for these Onkyo receivers and I know a lot of home theater reviewers actually buy Onkyo receivers with their own money so I feel almost pressured to buy an Onkyo.
Thanks for letting me know that anything less than an 875 doesn't do music well. It's just the slight reliability issues and running hot I'm a bit worried about leading me to believe that the Denons and Yamahas might be more reliable. I hope Onkyo fixes these issues in future models. Although I did read someone say that the Integras don't run as hot as the Onkyos. Have you had any issues with your Onkyo?
Actually Roland please accept my apology and let me correct myself, I should not have included the 805 in that. The 805 is also a very nice THX & THX2 certified receiver but it does not have the Reon processor for your video.
(it's also true that right now there is a - very small - flaw in the Reopn's operation in the 875 & 905; but owners have been assurred that there is a new firmware on the way to correct this, Onkyo so far have been pretty good with their support so I'd believe them)

Truth Teller, do you think that the Onkyo receivers have better sound quality for movies and music than the Denons, Yamahas, and Pioneer ones?
