There are lots of Onkyo's out there with out problems. The biggest problems I know of are that the Onkyo's have had P/S issues and are/were not recommended for less than 6 ohm loads. Many on this forum have Onkyo's driving the 4 Ohm M80s with out a hitch, I suspect that Onkyo has rectified that situation. The only other matters I am aware of are an audio to Video sync problem early last year on the 805/905(I haven't heard if it has been resolved, but I bet it has) and they tend to run warmer than other receivers, take from that what you will.
