Best AV Receiver in the $400 to $700 Range? (1 Viewer)

805 vs. 806 Sorry, Onkyo does not allow direct access to model comparisons :frowning: .This is a comparison from the Onkyo web site but keep in mind that the info, even from manufactures web sites, isn't always 100% accurate. But it does look like they did make some interesting decisions. If video/hdmi is your main focus then the 806 might be a better choice. Might be. But if audio is more important then the 805, especially at current prices, should really be looked at.

As far as I can tell the main improvement to the Onkyo 06 series is the conversion from all sources to HDMI 1080p. I think I am probably going to buy the 706. I found it on sale for $529 which is a huge savings over $899 msrp. I'll let you know how it all turns out.

I just purchased the Onkyo 706 and tried to set it up this past weekend but wasn't getting a picture on my TV. I have a Spectre 46" LCD with HDMI in. I'm running a Sony PS3 and a Denon 3910 DVD player hooked up via HDMI. I got the Onkyo set up screen to come up but nothing from the PS3 or 3910. I'll check again tonight when I get home to see if I messed something up.
