I see you're loving that Integra. Those are awesome receivers with an even better build quality than the very solid Onkyo line.

It's a total beauty!

I though people would like to see the difference between the 807 and the 808 inside. Look at that humongous heatsink in the 808! There are now two fans and the caps look bigger too.

The 807

Oups! Jack, that 808's interior is missing in action!

Thanks for the heads up. The picture is now fixed.

Does the 808 have Audysssey Multi XT32? This is suppose to be included in some receivers coming out this summer/fall. I am in the market to buy a receiver to use as a Pre/pro but I am not in a hurry so I can wait for this new feature.

The only newer Onkyo receivers from the xx08 series that I'm aware of so far that will have Audyssey MultEQ XT 32, are the TX-NR3008 and TX-NR5008, to be released next month, August.
And from my understanding, any lower one than these two, will not have it, like the TX-NR1008, and TX-NR808 (and of course the lower models).

* So if you want that extra filtering resolution, aim for at least the 3008.

Thanks Jack for that 808's internal picture fix.

* And here's the 805's interior for further comparisons between all these 800 series models:

Thanks, will look for the 3008 next month or two, when they get to market over here.

* Ok, here's where I'm confused: The rear panel from the 808 shows 7 HDMI connector jacks (6 In/1 Out).
But the interior of the 808 shows 8 HDMI connector jacks!

Jack?

EDIT: Well, after some judicious research, here's my best shot: The receiver's interior that you see here in this quote from this post, is indeed the Onkyo TX-NR1008 receiver, and not the TX-NR808.
-> It matches the weight (41 pounds) and more importantly it matches the number of HDMI connector jacks (8, or 6 In/2 Out),
from the 1008.

And for additional specs:

1. TX-NR1008's Weight = 41 lbs and Power Consumption's rating = 8.8 A

2. TX-NR808's Weight = 40.3 lbs and Power Consumption's rating = 7.5 A
3. TX-NR807's Weight = 39.7 lbs and Power Consumption's rating = 8.1 A
4. TX-SR806's Weight = 37.5 lbs and Power Consumption's rating = 7.8 A
5. TX-SR805's Weight = 50.9 lbs and Power Consumption's rating = 9.5 A

You're right...it appears that the 1008 is what's pictured. That's the picture that's floating around avsforum, but yeah its gotta be the 1008.

I never rely on AVS for accurate informations, it's full of flaws!
You ask for advice on a center channel speaker, they come up with a picture of a soundbar!
Or a receiver, and they show you a picture of a center channel speaker!

* You should see that guy's surround system recommended by people from AVS! He's got a Technics in a box mono receiver, 28 AWG speaker wires, Sony PS1, Bose speaker (lowest grade), Monster Cable digital interconnects and HDMI cable, Wall*Mart generic BD player (no name, but only $20, so it seems like a pretty good deal, but plays only DVDs though; you need an adaptor for playing Blu-rays, so it's BD ready), and only one speaker (Bose) because the Technics receiver is a mono receiver!

Go ahead and say it, the 805 is still kicking some butt!

Of course it does, it is the most powerful of this bunch (and a whole lot more too).
And it also has Audyssey MultEQ XT (up to 8 mic positions), with 16x the resolution in the satellites (speakers), as compared to only 2x with Audyssey MultEQ, from the 806/807/808.

* When Onkyo introduced the 805 in the spring of 2007, they were starting something totally unheard of. But now to keep up you'd have to go with the 3008.

The 805 is a legend, a classic. ...So is the Denon 3805 from 2004. ...And the Yamaha 2092 from 1997, first Yamaha receiver ever with Dolby Digital. And so is the Pioneer 9300s from 1988, the first receiver ever with Dolby Pro Logic.
-> And I own/ed them all.
