Anyone using the Onkyo TX-NR1007? I want one!

Couldn't find much through forum search for the Onkyo Tx-NR1007. Is anyone using one and have any opinions on it. Really curious about the 9.2 using the "front wide" or front high", anyone set up for this. Pretty intrigued by this unit and hopefully planning on one sometime this summer.

I've had mine since Oct 09 and thinks its the best receiver I've heard or owned.

If you have any questions I'll try and answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Okay, thanks. Are you running it in 9.2?

I'm running a 5.2 + heights with my mains bi-amped at the moment. I'm suppose to be moving to a bigger place this fall and then will get the rears to be running all channels.

The TX-NR1007 is in the same vein as the groundbreaking TX-SR805. I say the TX-SR805 was groundbreaking because it truly was a monster of a receiver that broke all the rules of what a receiver should be at a particular price point. The TX-SR805 was far from perfect, but it offered a value previously unheard of with one of the most robust amplifier sections I've seen in any receiver regardless of price. The TX-NR1007 holds similar value while adding useful features such as network capability, more HDMI connectivity options, and there have been less reports of problems with the units.
