You might want to consider a Onkyo TX-NR905 for a little more, MSRP is $2,099. Most of the specifications are the same but the 905 also has a toraoidal transformer plus 2 separate transformers for Audio & Video processing and the 875 does not. The 905 also features ethernet and HD Radio while the 875 does not. The 875 delivers 65A of current and the 905 delivers 70A of current. Otherwise they both rated 140 watts X 7 at 8 ohms and Amplifier Frequency Response 5 Hz–100 kHz/+1 dB, -3 dB (Direct mode).

If you buy a factory refurbished 905 you can get it alot cheaper if you want to go that route? Under $1,400 at accessories4less

Hope this helps?
