Onkyo is good, is it? Funny thing about them, at both BB and Visions when I was out looking for something unrelated, I saw that brand of reciever being returned at both stores.

Anyways, took a look at BB and FS websites. I think they may have removed a couple as I can't find 1 or 2 others I was looking at but these two are still up.

Yamaha HTR6160 7.2

Only has two HDMI in but all the sound options I think I'm looking for. What's the 7.2 all about though? I've been told mid priced Yamaha's are pretty good.

This one from Future Shop:

Think this may be a winner. All the right sound options and 4 HDMI in. Should I worry about upconverter chipsets?

That's just FS and BB anyways, few other sites to check out but waddya guys figure?
