I think I need to look at those Onkyo's. Do any have pre-outs for all three: Height, Width and Surround back? I think I looked once before, saw they didn't, then dropped them off my list.
What does the 3007 have for GUI? I love my 3808's GUI, and would hate loose that function.

If you're looking for a pre/pro with IIz, cast a glance over the PR-SC5507P. It's from Onkyo's Pro line. That's something which catches my attention. But I need to finish getting speakers, and then move to external amps, before I consider a pre/pro.

That one has 9.2 pre outs. I'm pretty sure the Denon 4810 is the only thing out yet with full 11.X pre outs.

Yeah, I'm reading the 5507 thread on AVS. Someone pointed out that the new Denon has 11.3 outs. But I don't want an inbuilt amp in my next processor, and Denon's separates are priced in the craziness range. Plus I just recently got to 7.1, figure I'll be ready for 9.2 next year at this time, 11.3 is a ways off.

I have two, NHT P5 amps (200 x 5 / 8 ohm). I'd prefer to have a pre, but don't really want to buy a third amp. I figured I'd use the 4810's amp for the SB's or some other configuration. I'm in no hurry either. I'm pretty happy with my system now. Not real sure why I'm even thinking about doing more......

So you have 10 channels of amplification? The Onkyo is perfect, then. You could even pick up a second center to place above the screen. Just pick whether you agree with Audyssey and think the L&R wides are the next logical step, or with Dolby who are going with height next. I really don't have much more room to go wider--although I'm sure I'll find away in 2 years. So height is right for me.

If I went with the Onkyo, I would not be able to go with an 11 channel set up, useing the H/W/SrB/Sr/C/R/L channels. It only has 9 channel outs. Am I missing something?

No, you're right. It only has 9 pre-outs. You have to pick between wide or tall. But as you have only 10 amplifier channels, you would, as you said, have to buy another amp if you wanted to go to 11 anyway.
