Been living with the new Onkyo PR-SC886 for a few days now. Absolutely no regrets - although it was a somewhat saddening experience to remove my venerable and trusty Outlaw Model 950 from the place it has sat in my gear shelves for what seems like forever. I really need to get it back into service somewhere - likely in a third HT room that I'll set up in one of our now-spare bedrooms.

I've been posting a more detailed set of experiences with / initial impressions of the Onkyo 886 over on the S&V Forums. It has a few functionality issues. While all gear does, it will be neat to see how it and the Model 997 stack up in that regard.
