If anyone purchased this receiver, I'm curious as to how you like it. I'm debating on getting this receiver, the Onkyo 605, or the Onkyo 705.

The Onkyo TX-SR606 is coming out very soon (replacing the 605). It has four HDMI inputs for a very reasonable price. $449 shipped, pre-ordered at J&R:

I don't know exactly when but I know it is very soon, probably within the next two weeks. I'm about a millimeter away from preordering it to replace my ten year old once top of the line Yamaha DSP-A1. I was leaning toward the Yamaha RX-V663 or HTR 6160 (they are virtually the same) but I think the four HDMI inputs may clinch it.

See my thread:

I just discovered it yesterday but I've found it has been talked about on various home theater forums for more than a month.

There are a lot of 605 deals now for less than $400.
