The difference in SQ will most likely be marginal and then you're left to compete on features with the likes of Denon/Marantz and Onkyo/Integra... good luck!


Onkyo is putting a LOT of price pressure on. The Onkyo TX-NR818 has XT32 and is now selling on Amazon for $859.

It's even UL listed! :-)

Best,
