I am stil considering on whether to purchase a Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver (undecided on my speakers, but leaning towards the SIERRA-1)
I would like to also consider a "HTITB) where the HDMI "Audio) doesn't pass through. I was considering the Onkyo HT-SR800 but the HDMI audio Pass through (HDMI Pass Through (2in/1out , 1080P compatible) — A separate audio connection is necessary)
Any suggestions, as I haven't found a home theater in box system under $1000 that offers the audio and video HDMI.
I assume that it is very important to have a receiver where the HDMI audio doesn't pass through, as I hate to run separate audio cable.
