I got my TX-SR875 today and I cannot be any happier. First, kudos to Vanns! Shipped out the same day, great price-no tax!, got 3 day free shipping, great packaging and last but not the least, I even got mine a day early...excellent service!

Now for this bad boy. An amazing piece of equipment. This is the third receiver I bought in a month and this one will definitely be the one I am keeping. First I got the TX-SR805. Dont get me wrong, that one is a great receiver. There are three things I look for in receivers nowadays. First, it should be able to handle the latest lossless codecs. Second, passes through 1080 24p without any issues. Third, an upscaler-deinterlacer built in. This is where I had a problem with the TX-SR805, which I did not know when I bought it. It only upscales analog video up to 720p. Unfortunately, 1080i signals are also downscaled to 720p, dont know why. So I decided to return it. Next I tried the Denon AVR-988 which is btw equivalent to AVR-2808CI. Also a great receiver and had the 3 prerequisites I mentioned and compared to the TX-SR805, this upscales to 1080p and does not downscale 1080i to 720p. So why did I get the TX-SR875? Well, compared to the Denon which has Faroudja DCDi which is ok, the TX-SR875 has the Reon-VX which is for me a better upscaler compared to the Faroudja. At least to me, the images from the Reon are sharper.

Some people might not like the idea of having non essential components in a receiver -less is more view - e.g. Marantz receivers-, but then again, it is a matter of preference and I am very happy with this purchase because I got all that I wanted. I like multi taskers. This is one of them and it does a great job doing it.

A few additional info. This bad boy is very very heavy. Compared to the Denon AVR-988 which is around 29 lbs, the TX-SR805 or TX-SR875 are at least 50 lbs. So one should be careful while moving them. Also, these new Onkyos run a little bit on the hot side. Ive heard some people saying its too hot for them, but for me its ok. I already knew that they are like this so I have it on the topmost rack of my audio pier -no additional shelf on top- so that it gets adequate ventilation.

SMART UPGRADE !!!
