I know, this question comes up a thousand times.
I'm considering a new receiver to replace my outdated Denon 2805. The trusted Denon 3808ci is on my list as well, however, it was introduced in 2007. Denon is planning on introducing some new receivers over the next few months, so I may hold off a bit and see what comes out. I've considered a new 3808 from 6Ave, or refurbished from Dakmart as well.
I just came across the top of the line Onkyo TX-NR906 at Accessories4Less (authorized dist) for $1199 which is 45% off the normal going price at NewEgg and other websites. Yes, it is reconditioned by Onkyo, but you get the regular 1yr warranty, and I've heard if you use American Express you get another year added.
Is there anybody out there currently using the 876 or 906 with their 80's. I know what Denon's will do, and based on the specs, there is no reason Onkyo should have issues. Also, this price is pretty good considering it is $1K off MSRP. I know PeterC sent an Onkyo 876 back recently. His negative feedback suprised me.
Thanks in advance.
Randy
