Hey! What are the chances? Strange, there really aren't that many Jo(h)n K's out there are there?
Anyway, thanks so much guys. I'll definitely look into the Onkyo unit.
And yes, preamp outs are definitely something that I'd (they'd) like to to have.
I gather from the replies that Onkyo units have a similar feature set as Denon, and pretty close in terms of build quality?
Because of the existence of these Adcom amps they have (and who knows, I just know these things sound great. They're not expensive used-Adcom 525, maybe I'll like the amp in one of these receivers better but I highly doubt it.), it's not that essential that the main L&R amp be that great.
Mainly what I'm looking for is a bazillion combinations of switching and surround sound options and amplification for the back speakers. So, an Onkyo unit for cheaper makes sense, but how good is the quality control? Will it last a long time?
