yeah, onkyo 705 is at the top of my list but in Canada i'd be looking at 1099.99..that's right americans, not a typo. if i go U.S i might be able to get it for $650...about half what i'd pay for it in Canada. BUT i loose out on Warranty so really is it worth the risk if it craps out on me, haven't decided.
anyone have opinions on this one

Yamaha 661 for PCM HDMI audio (it is not 1.3). Good little reiver. I had one for a while. They're pretty cheap.

I'm not sure if you have a Soundsaround where you live but they had the RX-V1800 on sale for $998 CDN last week at the Calgary location.

I bought my RX-V3800 for $1,598 which was the best price I found in Calgary.

well i took the leap and bought the yamaha htr6060, should arrive this week, says it's 4ohm capable so if upgradeitis hits me at some point i should be ok. AND it's got a phono input which is a nice plus
