My Onkyo TX-SR800 just went bad after about 7 years. I need a new receiver. I can spend around $700. I have an average size room with PSB Image 2b bookshelfs in front and PSB center, surrounds, and sub. I will be using the receiver primarily for movies and television.
I'm looking at the Denon AVR2310 and the Marantz SR5004. I have to confess, however, that I have been out of the receiver market for quite a while, and I really don't know which companies have been putting out quality equipment lately.
Can anyone offer any insight about differences between the Denon and the Marantz, or other receivers in my price range that might work?

. The RC model is the same as the 807 with 10wpc less - I don't believe Onkyo actually built a new amp just for this model and both use the same amp. Both are network ready AVRs with preamp outs for external amps - in the Denon line you'd need to move up to the 990/3310 models for those features.
