I'm also in the process of comparing AV receivers, so far I think I'm narrowed down to the Onkyo SR-TX800, JVC RX-DP9VBK or the Kenwood VR-6070. The Onkyo seems to have all the latest bells and whistles plus OSD. The JVC is the oldest but super nice specs but not all the latest formats supported ie Dolby Prologic II, NEO:6. Kenwood seems to be the best price to performance ratio. I've found the JVC for 529.00 online so it's becomming a tough choice. I want a THX receiver because I know then it will support THX modes for movies better. With the specified 80mhz sub crossover, although some are adjustable, and proper encoding. Too bad makers must pay to be certified, I think this is hurting the industry. Isn't George Lucas rich enough?
