exile Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Receiver TX-SR706 - $899 MSRP 4 HDMi in, 1 out - up from 3 in 1 out AudysseyXt eq 26 lbs down from 28 in the 705 preouts like last year TX-SR806 - $1099 MSRP 5 hdmi in 1 out - 805 had 3 in 1 out. Audyssey2 Dynamic EQ with Dynamic volume No Burr Brown dacs like the 805 Weight 37 lbs - down from 50 lbs. Look at the power supply specs for a good reason why. TX-SR876 - $1799 MSRP which is $100 more than the 875 Audyssey2 Dynamic EQ with Dynamic volume 4 hdmi in, 2 out 3 independent power supplies 50 lbs (same as last year) Burr Brown Dacs Reon HQV Processor TX-SR906 - $2299 MSRP which is $200 more than the 905 Built in HD radio Toroidal Transformer Network streaming Reon HQV processor 4 independent power supplies 4 HDMI in, 2 out Audyssey2 Dynamic EQ with Dynamic Volume 54 lbs - same as last year. So it appears the 805 was actually moved down quite a bit. To me it seems like they overbuilt the 805 and now are trying to move the 806 into it's place to where they thought it should have been. __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm in the market for a new reciever. Is the 805 still a good choice? How much should I be paying? Any good reasons for going with a more recent model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would go with the 805 over the 806. What you get is not IMHO as significant as what you give up. You can find new ones for around $600-$625. Refurbs are cheaper but not that much cheaper(like $25). You might look at Circuit City or Frys to see if they have any closeouts left. They were blowing them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
