Hello,
Indeed. Welcome to HomeTheaterShack.
I purchased a TX-SR805 the absolute first day it was available for 1,100 Dollars and still thought it to be one of the best value receivers of all time. The models which replaced it (806,807) do not offer nearly as much power. Furthermore the replacement models use lesser DAC's (Burr Brown PCM-1792 in the 805, Crystal Semiconductors in the 806,807), and a less powerful version of Audyssey's excellent Room Correction software (MultEQ XT (805), MultEQ (806, 807).
The much more able version of MultEQ coupled with a true THX Ultra2 amplifier section, top spec Burr Brown DAC's and Japanese manufacture really make the TX-SR805 an all time classic.
While the replacements are quite able and still far better than most anything in their price range, they are not nearly as overbuilt as the 805 was. Even at MSRP, the TX-SR805 represents astonishing value.
Cheers,
JJ
