How about a refurb Onkyo TXSR876 for $849 on eCost?

That's a $1,799 receiver, second only to the 'flagship' NR906 in the Onkyo line. HQV Reon-VX, THX Ultra2, HD radio, etc .

As someone else needing a replacement for his 7-year old AVR, who's ticked off that the Emotiva UMC is taking so long, I'm seriously tempted myself...
