I'm looking around for a new receiver. I currently have a Yamaha HTR-6060 that I bought about a year ago. It's OK, but it doesn't have the latest sourround modes (True HD, etc), the HDMI inputs are 1.2a, and it has shutdown the odd time (it's well ventilated with the help of cooling fans) when I'm really having fun ("We Were Soldiers" cranked up, etc).
I was looking at something like the Onkyo TXSR706B. It seems to be reasonably priced but I'm looking for some opinions . . .
- It's power rating is the same as my Yamaha but I've heard it has better high current capabilities and can it also drive 4ohm loads (should I go with M80's in the future)?
- Is there really any significance to having a receiver with a THX rating?
- Any other receivers for ~ $900 that compare or might be a better deal?
