Upgrading From 605 To 705

[HOME THEATRE ADDICT!]

i recently upgraded from the 605 to the 705. if money wasnt an issue id have the 875. i see a few things better about the 705. i also got the 705 at a fairly cheap price, 519.00. other than thx, an extra hdmi, a better remote, and the blue volume knob and 10 more watts a channel, anybody know any other plusses? im happy with it so far. im guessing it had cost more mostly for the thx processing!

Got this from another forum on the differences between the 705 and the 605

General
- THX Select 2 Certification (605 has no THX)
- additional 10 watts per channel
- onboard fans for cooling
- Blue backlighting around the volume knob!!
- Advanced remote control - fully backlit with learning/programming abilities

Audio Processing
- 3 DSPs and more listening modes
- Audyssey MultiEQ vs 2EQ on the 605. MultiEQ is more advanced and supports 8 listening positions rather than 2
- 7 band equaliser vs 5 band
- expanded range of crossover frequencies (70Hz and 90Hz)
- ability to post process 5.1 channel PCM signals (ie from internally decoding BD/HDDVD players) to 6.1 or 7.1 (605 apparently cant do this on 5.1ch PCM)
- accepts DSD format (from SACDs) over multi channel inputs
- 605 cant apply Audyssey when processing TrueHD/DTS-MA bitstreams over HDMI 1.3 due to less processing power

Inputs/Outputs
- +1 HDMI input
- +1 digital coax audio input
- +1 optical audio output
- 7.1 channel RCA pre-outs
- Phono input
- 12V trigger out
- IR in (for infrared repeater systems)
- RS232 COM port
- zone 2 speaker connections have proper binding posts
