Hello,


Looking to upgrade from Onkyo TX-SR805. Don't need anything more than 7 channels. Is NR828 the logical replacement?


I've read on a lot of threads that people point towards the NR929 as the logical replacement, and I'm not sure why that is?


The NR828 has 130W/channel just as the 805 did. And as I stated above I dont need the 9 channels the NR929 offers.


I do get that the NR929 has MultEQ XT32 and the 828 only has MultEQ.


What else is in terms of build quality is so different in the 929?


Thanks,

Other options would be the Denon X4000, Pioneer SC-1323-K, or Yamaha Aventage.


Any recommendations on those would be welcome too.

I am in the same boat. Or was. In the 3rd place now, I just bought a X4000, open box, from One Call. It was listed as the X4000ci (which it isn't on the Denon site) which might be why it was still there.


Being an authorized dealer, I get the 3 year warranty as well.

The 805 is a beast and I will be sorry to see it go. But go it will....
