 Onkyo is the best out there Nov 17, 2008
I was planning on getting panasonic or sony for my PS3 to fully benefit from blu-ray, but a friend at work told me about their onkyo, so I checked on amazon and was about to buy, but then it sold out, so I found this bad boy instead, and had to get it, 400 bucks off can't beat that! I was so excited when it arrived, I couldn't wait to set it up. HEAVY... but I can live with that. The sound is AMAZING. And HDMI pass-thru is great. I have my hd dvr and my ps3 hooked up to it and I couldn't be happier. It does run hot, and blows hot air right into my ps3, which causes loud fans to run. No problems yet after over 2 months, just need a cooling unit and I'm golden. A definite recommended buy!
 Died in one week. Terrible audio lag. Sound quality was excellent. Nov 12, 2008
Update: My 805 died on me after only one week of light apartment-volume use. As has happened to many other units, it started turning itself off immediately after being turned on. I had to return it, and will be replacing it with a Denon AVR-988. As great as the 805 sounded, I refuse to get another ticking time bomb. Amazon won't let me change my star rating, but I'd give it two stars now.
This receiver has an extremely noticeable delay in audio reproduction that has been well documented by the internet community. Onkyo seems to have no interest in fixing it. It makes the video "lead" audio, so that you hear everything too late, even with the receiver's audio delay settings at "0 ms." Putting the speaker distance at the maximum settings helps a bit, but if you use a CRT display that has no video delay, I can't recommend this receiver as it is nearly unwatchable.
Heat production is also very high. I had to buy separate fans to cool it.
Sound quality is fantastic, though. Rich, open, detailed. Made my DVD's come alive and CD's had improved sound staging.
But for this much money, can't we expect a receiver that outputs video and audio at the same time? And doesn't break? Is that too much to ask?
Beauty AND a beast! Nov 03, 2008
I bought this Onkyo receiver to replace an older Onkyo (the TX-DS787) receiver - mainly for the HDMI-connectivity and switching. I have to say - I am wowed by the ease, simplicity and efficiency of this receiver. As anyone who's bought independent components to set-up their HT/Home Audio system knows, wiring and configuration can be a serious project. Not so with this one. My HT system includes Definitive Tech speakers (the BP7004s - I love them), Polk Audio Center, Triad Sub, Samsung 52" LCDTV, Comcast cable DVR, Suny BluRay, and KEF sorrounds. So it's an eclectic system - and this receiver has the muscle, brain-power and looks to handle all this really great! Oh, and did I mention I have 2 additional music zones?
Buy it - you'll love it.
PS: I got the Silver finish - not the black - I like that look more.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
