That is a serious flagship receiver! Do it! I know there are going to be people coming in here and saying "But it doesn't have HDMI, what about Blu-ray?" True to a degree, but you re-coup all your money back if you sell it later anyways. And for Blu-ray, Panasonic's BD50 is decodes all the new codecs in the player and passes it out through analog 7.1 or HDMI. The Onkyo has analog inputs so you're covered. And I think even still, the excellent amp section will make anything sound great.
