when are the 08 onkyos coming?

i would like to get one now, but if i get one now would it still be up to date by the fall when i get a new tv?

i would like to see the 605 model have one more hdmi input

how much would that 805 cost come summer/fall?

thank you

Why would you go with a 705 that costs $649 everywhere you look when you can get the 805 for only $699 from Amazon!

Vann's has Silver Onkyo 705 for 599.99 shipped or you could try what I did.


Go to 6th Ave and put the Silver 605 receiver in the cart and the use cat6off code to get it down to $561 shipped.


It is out of stock now but YMMV to get another dealer to price match.

you better order your 2008 Onkyo now in order to have it before 2009 is over. I've had a 905 on back order since early Aug.

yeah right now i have the onkyo sr601. i can afford to keep it for a little more time. cuz i want to get redo my home theater this summer or fall. so i hope something similar to the 705 or 805 comes out by then.

in germany onkyo will present an 906 at the IFA this summer (september '08).

this receiver will be a "refurbished" 905 with some new chips and same design as far as I read.


in germany we have probs with the 905 on blue-ray's/hd-dvd's coming from the label "concorde".

there are some loud "bangs" on the dts-hd master layer by bitstream.

e.g. in Master And Commander, 12 Monkeys, Tomb Raider 2.

In a Statement of DTS-Global Product Manager to Concorde he said that receivers from Yamaha and Onkyo have defective dts-chips which cause the "plopps/bangs".

will we see any new features worth waiting for?
