Thanks for the replies guys. With the new live search deal on our favorite auction site, I can get the Onkyo SR805 or the Pioneer Elite VSX01 in my price range. Probably pull the trigger tonight on one.

Hello all, long time lurker looking for help. I am replacing a denon 2803 to update the system and looking to hear any thoughts on people's experience with some of the newer receivers and this or a similar speaker set. To give you an idea of my price range I am currently looking at: Onkyo 606, 705 Denon 1909 Pioneer 1018 Current Speakers: Fronts: Klipsch RF 3-II Center: Klipsch RC 3-II Rears: Klipsch SB-1 SVS 20-39 PCi Other relevant points Panasonic 50PZ80U I usually watch movies at or close to reference level Will have a second zone being used - may just use current receiver though Harmony tablet remote Using 1 HDMI out to the TV - though I plan to have everything (PS3, cable and PC) sent via HDMI to the receiver. I am replacing a denon 2803 to update the system and looking to hear any thoughts on people's experience with some of the newer receivers and this or a similar speaker set. To give you an idea of my price range I am currently looking at: Onkyo 606, 705 Denon 1909 Pioneer 1018 I use the setup primarily for movies but do enjoy music as well. Currently CD audio is piped through my Yamaha DVD-C920 which has burr brown dacs. I am looking to limit my components to the receiver, PC and a PS3 so I want to box up the DVD which means no more burr brown for CDs as I will now rely on the receiver dacs only. I have been thrilled thus far with the sound of my current set up though I have considered the 2803 just a hair on the bright side with this pairing to give you some indication of my listening preference.

ANY insight and information is greatly appreciated as I have been reading reviews for weeks and have given myself a deadline of tomorrow so I can stop over analyzing everything and just make a stinking purchase! Thanks ahead of time for yout input
