Re: ideas

The Onkyo's seem to be the deal to beat right now, if you want to future proof for HD-DVD/BluRay. I would at least go for the 705 for the extra DSP processing and full preamp outputs.

If you don't mind the silver finish, Circuit City currently has the Onkyo 805 for $699...that's NIB for the refurb price from Accessories4Less and ShopOnkyo, when they have them. 805 gets you a little more power over the 705 (THX Ultra vs. Select) and Burr-Brown DACs.
