I know it's a lot of money you are talking about spending so there is nothing wrong with being skeptical. However, I paid $875 for my 805 and I still think it was worth every penny.

As others mentioned though, it's very important to demo first!
Understand, I am going to demo the pioneer elite 92 and yamaha 1800 at Magnolia and then the Onkyo 806 at Circuit City (they didn't have the 805). Is there any real difference in sound between the 805 and 806? Also, this may be a very stupid question but is it more imporant to get the speakers first and match the receiver to the speakers or doesn't it matter? I have a few speakers in mind but will not be able to test the actual receiver with the speakers. I know that is preferred but I just don't see that happening. I know this is the receiver forum but is there any speakers that are must buy or a must stay away from? Thanks again!!!!
