Non onkyo reciever roughly equivlent to the onkyo 806?

[callas01]

Looking at that list of receivers you put, and wether it was an $400 onkyo or a $900 Yamaha, there aren't any that put out the "stated" watts per channel. the Yamaha 863 was like 47 watts continuous, the sonys were about the same, the onkyos a little higher, the pioneers maybe just above that. Also, there were a few that said, 'it is hard to believe that the wattage output was a low as we found, the sound coming from the reciever felt much more powerful.' and then some tech gargin to explain their point. I think that was a Sony and a Yamaha. So for someone in the sub $1000 range there isn't much if any options. What would be recommended? I assume a receiver with a pre-pro so that you can add the additional 50-100 watts of continuous power?
