My 12-year-old Sony ES receiver finally blew out with a spectacular blast of light, and I'm in search of a new one that can handle HDMI 1.3 as well as the newer audio codecs.
I've narrowed my search to both the Onkyo TX-SR705 and Denon AVR-888, and I have a budget of $800. This is where I need help. I've heard the Onkyo has a problem with overheating as well as lip sync issues. Since so few people have bought the Denon, I really haven't seen too much written about it, although its specs are pretty close to the Onkyo, and I've always heard that Denon is a top notch brand.
What are your thoughts on these two receivers? I'm using Klipsch Synergy speakers and want to keep the watts to 100 per channel.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
