Plus, though I didn't buy it for this purpose, I ended up running a 9.2 setup with DPL-IIz Height channels. Sounds FANTASTIC.

Awesome.

That's the kind of hdmi 1.4 receiver I wanna see Onkyo release. The 608 seems like downgrade (features-wise) compared to my 705.

So I'm definitely holding out for a 805/1007 equivalent hdmi 1.4 receiver from Onkyo.

The 07 series 007 receivers have had a great track record with few problems.

The 08 series is looking real nice as well. Especially the 608. Which is what I will probably be upgrading to.

Definately the price. I paid just under $600 for my 805 when they were on sale through Amazon. I think the MSRP for the 805 was around $1000 or so. Not a bad deal at all.

So any word regarding a more robust 3D ready receiver from Onkyo?
