have you guys noticed the latest receivers from onkyo has dropped in power? they increased the features yes but at what cost?

Take a look at these power ratings of the 806 and 807

There pretty much the same with 5 channels driven, but look at the massive difference with 7 channels.

And how is the 606 better at 7 channels than the 807?

But neither of those receivers even come close to the beast that was the 805!

Whoever has the 805, you guys better keep that. that receiver is a classic.

It seems like the 05 onkyos has more power than these newere ones.
