Onkyo TX-NR3007 Receiver Thread

[ScuseMe]

Well, after much consternation and fretting, I've decided to pull-the-plug and upgrade my Halo C2 prepro to the 3007!!!

Believe me, this wasn't an easy decision. I've had my C2 since 2003, and loved every minute of it. But I've come to the conclusion that it's time for me to upgrade. Lack of HDMI video/audio support was my prime motivation, along with all the other bells and whistles that have occurred in the last 7 years. I've downloaded the 3007 manual and began reading….whew! It's gonna take my a while….lots to take it and lots o' settings )

Audyssey processing is new to me, so I'm looking forward to seeing what difference it makes to my setup (I'm a Radio Shack SPL meter kinda' guy myself ). My system is only 5.1, but I'm hoping to upgrade to 6.1 or more if my room allows it (that's a whole 'nother topic). I'm planning to use the amps in the 3007 to drive all my speakers, but I still have my 5-channel A52 amp if I need more power.

I've never owned Onkyo before, and neither have anyone of my friends or family. It's primarily the forum buzz on these products that made me even consider Onkyo over the "big 3". I hope I've made the right decision I have 30 days to return the unit, but I don't buy anything expecting it to fail; I do as much research as possible.

Amazon's delivering the 3007 tomorrow, so I'm going to be very busy this weekend. Wish me luck!
