Ken, i have the previous year model of the Denon, the 3311ci and its a great unit. I chose it over the 3312 because i like the extra buttons hidden behind the front flap.I bought a dock for my ipod since the airplay just didnt give the sound quality. Like you i started by looking at at onkyo since i buy from crutchfield.I just couldn't take the risk with their quality given my remote location. Though the denon is not rated for 4 ohms it has no trouble whatsoever with the m80's. This hobby is adictive and i have since added an emo to drive the front 3. I say get the denon,only complaint for me was the manual.
BTW 3311ci at amazon.com for 789.

yeah, even before reading Socketman's post, I was thinking "have you read the manuals?"
They may have changed over the last 7-8 years, of course. But my Denon manuals were unintelligible.

They are 'similarly poor'.

Go for the 809. I just upgraded from the 708 to the 809 mainly for MultEQ XT. I couldn't find anything better from a price/feature standpoint.

Thanks, Floyd. Any heat issues or reliability problems?

Hi Ken, I'm going to sneak in here real quickly. I've never owned the 809 but had researched it in the past. Heat was an issue with some of it's owners, but mostly referred to as running warm or very warm. There was very little talk about catastrophic failure because of it running warm. This was really the only complaint about the 809. This series was thought of very highly on other forums as a receiver being very reliable with good feature sets for the money.
With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.
