I ended up returning my Onkyo SR805 (about 3 weeks ago). The Onkyos have a well known issue with audio/video syncing. Some people don't notice, but once you know about the problem, it might be hard to ignore. You are always looking for it. I also had a serious problem with Audessy set-up. After I used it, a volume limiter would kick in. It was really bad with my HD-cable for some reason. I honestly could not turn the volume loud enough (and my room is not very big). If I turned the Audessy off though, the volume problem went away. I was really bummed too since the receiver sounded really, really sweet!
I now have a Marantz 7002 which has been rock solid and sounds incredible, especially at louder volumes. The Onkyo did sound better at lower volumes, but heck, I could really only get lower volumes.
