    The -000 from Marantz has a rep as having issues. I have a 7200 it sounds great but independent(Stereophile I think) testing shows the 7200 with all 5 channels going at 27watts per channel not the 100 it is rated at by Marantz. That said I've never needed more power. I'd look to Denon or the Pioneer 1014.

    Default Onkyo TXNR801

    So I'm still no the market for a new receiver and I stumbled across an awesome deal on an Onkyo TXNR801. (It's going for $600 at http://www.onecall.com/PID_20578.htm, click on checkout to see the price). Does anybody have any comments about this receiver? How will it sound with the 170's? Is Onkyo a good choice as a solution to the problems I outline above?

    For receiver questions, I ususally go to the AVS Forum. Onkyo's are talked about regularly over there.

    I have an Onkyo two channel receiver that I'm very pleased with but it lacks most of the bells and whistles on the 801.
