You have me lost on the height and wide comment. From what I can find that's just another pair of speakers up front pushed to the ends and up towards the ceiling? Limited to my current setup up which is pre-wired for L,R,C up front on the wall and then pre-wired in the ceiling for the four...
That's quite a selection. Will probably be purchasing from them.

Elite VSX 70 - $700
Onkyo 626...
Almost like shopping between vehicle brands, very similar but with different options.
As for the options you mention, some I understand while others I have no idea what the benefit is.
Want 2nd zone? Not going to be needed.
Want networking? Can only guess that it would beneficial if wanted to...
I forgot to mention that there were four ceinling speakers so the Denon is out becuase it's only 5.1.
So what specs should I be focusing in on when comparing these receivers? How are these different/better than the Onkyo 626?
The brands I was being told by the speaker person there were good...
I'm looking for help as I no longer have any idea about what to look for in receivers any more.
I have just finished my basement and now have a semi-dedicated theater room that is 15x31 with a projector and 123" screen on order. Usage will be mostly for movies, some music and occasional tv...
