Hi all, I am very close to making a decision an a receiver upgrade, I just have a question on the fan that is supposedly in the new SR-608 to keep the lines heat issues under control. Is the fan really audible, even the slightest bit? My receiver will be located only a few feet from my seating position, not in any sort of cabinet, and I really dont want to deal with another componet (PS3 anyone?) that has an annoying fan noise. Matter of fact, unless you would have to go out of your way to hear it, it may steer me towards another receiver. The SR-608 is at the top of my list right now, so anybody who has would and can vouch for the noise level, please let me know. Thanks.

I have the Onkyo TX-SR608. I've never heard any fan noise from the receiver even when I've had my head in the cabinet where it sits. In fact, I just went into the other room and turned it on just to be sure. Didn't hear any noise at all. It's a great receiver so enjoy it!

Thanks Mr. Rogers. I am about to pull the trigger! Wish Best Buy would run a sale one of these days. I just was at the store, and they didnt even have it on display. What else is new....

I don't even bother at BB. I ordered my SR508 from Amazon yesterday. Free shipping too.
