i have the Onkyo SR701.

the thing i like most about it, is the fact that i finally got to hook it up this weekend. these are the things i like.

1. plenty of power
2. plenty of inputs/outputs(at least for my use), including a set of digital/s-video/rca jacks in front. and a 2nd zone.
3. it has up-conversion capabilities
4. great remote that can learn others
5. very detailed instruction manual
6. receiver automatically goes into DTS, THX, DD mode depending on the signal it reads from the dvd player.
7. awesome sound and performance
8. lots of DSP modes which come in handy when listening to TV shows thru the stereo

things i dont like

1. it does get kinda hot
2. tuner/radio reception is not very good
3. receiver display is hard to read when sitting on couch.

i have only had it wkng for a few days now, but these are the things i can think of. overall, i am very pleased with it, and i hope to continue to be so.
