After having Onkyo receivers and both not lasting longer than 3 years (second one died within 2 years under warranty, but the warranty fix has not fixed the problem - HDMI card issues); I am looking for a quality receiver that has a minimum of 130 watts per channel with 7.1 channel capabilities. The last two Onkyo rigs were part of the HTIB receivers and last was THX certified and worked awesome until the HDMI handshake issues. The rest of the receiver (both of them) still work fine just won't work with HDMI.
So, where do I start?
Minimum Requirements:
7.1 channel
130 watts/channel
HDMI (preferably 4 or 5 in and 1 out)
Optical in/out (1/1)
Does not need to network.
Add'l requirement: THX certified if possible.
To be thorough, it will be in a well ventilated cabinet with a 360mm case fan pulling air from the receiver itself.
Looking at Onkyo 808 but gun-shy about it not lasting only 2 or 3 years.
Thanks in advance.
