I talked with Alan tonight and discussed a few ideas. I finally got through to Onkyo tech support and fixed a few options with the net-tune. Anyway, some thoughts about my issues coulds relate to Onkyo's aggressive current protection, also since I'm not running a sub, the base from the receiver eat's up a lot of power. I haven't had a chance yet, but I'm going to test the impedence settings this weekend, and try running the mains off another receiver.
Right now I an trying to decide if I should replace the NR900, or add a separate amp. The NR900 has a lot of features such as thx-ex, dd-ex, dts-ex, neo6, front A/V inputs, 192/24 bit decoding. Granted, not all of these features are main stream yet, it should last for a while. So I'm thinking they added a lot of features and skimped on the power supply and amp.

Well I finally did it, I auditioned some Rotel products. I deceided to go with the RSP-1066 proceser, and the RMB-1075 amp. They sounded great at the showroom, I have to wait until Saturday to pick them up. They offered me a discount, they have on eblack unit left but it was a display model. I can get both for $1,850 USD. Which seems to be a great price. They were in the process of changing their floor models out for silver ones. My only reservation is that it is not THX.

There's no reason that should be a reservation. THX does not much more than assure a very minimal amount of quality. Rotel has a LOOOOOONG tradition of making spectacular products. I'm sure you will be thrilled with your setup.

Good choice and you got one hell of a deal.

I have the RSX-1065 and it definitely is clean and loud.

They have a 1098 coming out in late March or April. It's twice the price, but something to look forward to.
