I recently bought new speakers: M50's, VP150, QS8's and an EP350. I am looking to upgrade my JVC receiver (RX-7000VBK) which is about 6 yrs. old and was looking at the Yamaha RX-V2700, until I saw the latest Onkyo AVR TX-SR805, due for the market soon. Onkyo Pro's: HDMI 1.3, BLU-Ray or HD-DVD compatibility.
Love bells and whistles, but of course my main concern is sound quality, I live in a remote area and can not try either one. The HT system is at one end of a rectangular room 24' x 11' x 8' which opens, from one side, into an area of about 14' x 20', but the main listing area is 2100 cubic feet.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
