Onkyo
I own two Yamaha AVR's and Outlaw Audio seperates. But, if I were to buy now, this Onkyo offering would be hard to pass up on. If, of course, the Onkyo is as reliable as the two previous mentioned brands.

MultiEQ XT makes this a very appealing receiver, certainly better choice than the 609 or 709.

The price gap between the 709 and 809 seems pretty narrow. $200 on a $900 system is just over 20%. In for a penny, in for a pound . . .

I just received mine yesterday and it is a tad overwhelming to be honest. I think there is nothing that cannot be adjusted and worse, nothing that does not need to be adjusted.
Never the less, initial thoughts are very positive, it works well, can be personalized beyond anything I could have imagined. I am upgrading from a Denon and can honestly say the Onkyo sounds a bit better overall with some additional punch and a bit of a better surround involvement. Not sure why, but with the Onkyo I find myself getting into the action on screen a bit more. This may take some investigation.
So far, so good. But I will say it is large, quite large but fits in a normal slot for AV furniture. So far, highly recommended.

Output Voltage
Question - what's the preout voltage rating for this unit? I am considering the unit as a prepro for my amps.
