I have been reviewing receivers for the past several weeks, and believe I have my selection finalized on the Onkyo SR875. Does anyone have experience with this receiver?

I will be running the unit in a dedicated 16x20 HT with a full set of Acoustic Research Hi-Res series (AR1 main, AR2C center, AR15 surround, AR17 surround).

Its in my price range at $1k-$2k, and has sufficient inputs and outputs to meet my needs. Initially, I will be upconverting multiple sources (Popcorn Hour, Vista MCE, PS3, and SD-DVD) and displaying them on a 60" Philips 1080p DLP until I have made a projector decision.

I am not terribly concerned with heat, as I will be installing it in a climate controlled cabinet with several networking and digital storage components.

Does anyone have any comparable receivers that I can add to my list to evaluate and review?
