Darrel,
I got home today and found the sheet I was looking for. Basically I made a chart comparing everything from THD to warranty. I tossed out the Denon 3806 and yamaha v2600 because they were around the mid $850 range, while the Onkyo 703 and HK435 were right around $500. The Yamaha is a great THX item. The things it had the others didn't were presence speakers capablilty, Silent Cinema headphone, HDMI, and 12v triggers. The Denon is very similar, no presence speaker ability, no special headphone feature, no THX. So between those two, for the same price, the Yamaha, IMO. However, at close to that price I could buy a Sherwood Newcastle P-965 seperate. So, I dropped those two. Next are the HK435 and Onkyo 703, both around $500. The Onkyo is THX certified, has Ipod hookup and will push a 4 ohm speaker, but doesn't have ethernet hookup, doesn't have a dolby headphone and weighed a lot less than the HK. Onkyo is 29.8 lbs, HK is 39. The Onkyo does have Dolby headphone, does have an RS232 port, but doesn't have XM, or Ipod. Both have AV sync and about the same THD/SNR stats. In the end, I wanted some of the things like 12 volt triggers, ethernet, Dolby Headphone. The only thing the HK didnt' have that I really wanted was some 12 v triggers and the SNR/THD was a little poor. THD .08, SNR 100. The seperate I got has THD at .003%, SNR of 105.
