With regards to Onkyo (as well as Pioneer) receivers - they have a lively, vibrant sound that many audiophiles prefer over clinical and dry (typical modern Denon or Marantz for example). I have personal experience with all of these brands and have no hesitation recommending Onkyo. Yes, their higher-end models with Dirac room optimization (NR7100 and NZ50) are superior to NR6100/6050, but they are also over $1100 MSRP and not available anywhere currently. For an average home theater NR6050 is more than capable and a great deal at $499. Also, unlike MY2020 Denons, Yamahas and Marantz units, this receiver has fully functional HDMI 2.1 ports and should be compatible with PS5 and XBOX-X running 8K HDR - out of the box.

pretty sure future THX cert will require neon lights.
1. S760H, running to 5 channel, doesn't have enough power for me. i actually find i max out volume at times. completely guessing, but i think i am getting less than 50W with 5 channel per channel (my speaker isn't that efficient)
2. S760H doesn't support bi-amp.
a lot of people seem to be burned by onkyo. i too have a NR 809 that had a faulty HDMI board, which they fixed for free 4 years after my purchase. i am actually quite impressed that they did that because my receiver was 50lb in weight.
I like to send/control the audio from the phone to chromecast with zone2 outside. So chromecast would be a nice plus so I don't need to occupy the optical outlet with one of the external chromecast audio units.
ordered the onkyo just in case it has the built in chromecast. I have the Costco 760 denon, and chromecast is not built in yet, which is a bit of a letdown. Also, the denon will only play analog (not hdmi) on zone 2, where as this onkyo states pcm digital from hdmi on the zone2, which is a huge plus for zone 2 flexibility.
The companies change their unit #'s all the time, and with prices elevated right now because of inflation and supply shortages, I'm having a hard time finding today's equivalent.
Thanks so much! And if that's too much to ask, no worries (please feel free to disregard). Thanks!

Don't need HDMI 2.1 yet until this 85" 4K TV or the Onkyo kicks the bucket.

The setup was very easy. I did not setup Chromecast or Alexa integration. SQ is pretty decent, and seems to be getting slightly better as it sounded somewhat shrill and harsh at first. It's been playing music from my Oppo BDP-83SE SACD/BD player via HDMI right now, but I'll try analogue inputs later and hopefully that will give a boost in SQ since my source has the improved output stage.
Overall, this should tide me over until the chip shortage is up and I can find something better.
I just pulled the trigger because recently my newish Sony 65" Class - X90CH Series - 4K UHD LED LCD TV started driving me insane with the Yamaha RX-V677 I bought in 2015. I have the older AppleTV 4K (not 2021 model) and had used the second input on the Sony for it (too many other devices on the receiver).. well just recently I think my Sony TV got some update and something I just heard about called CEC seems to have changed with the interaction between the Sony and AppleTV. As soon as I click the menu button on the Apple remote it changes the input on the TV to the Yamaha. I am using the optical-out on the Sony into the Optical input on the Yamaha. I don't want the AppleTV to change the input on the TV;and it is driving me batty. I can make it go away for a random amount of time by going through the TV setup on the AppleTV input, but it will revert to the wonky operation at random too. For an entire year the setup has been exactly the same with cabling and worked fine so I'm inclined to believe Sony updated something with the firmware in the TV. I can't seem to properly google what this problem is so I am appealing to the experts in this thread that may know what is happening.
In short, I wanted a new receiver anyway to put the Yamaha in another room.. but I think this will solve my CEC Apple remote\TV switching input issue because this Onkyo has enough inputs for all my devices, so the source can stay as the Onkyo.
Few people actual can make use of the feature.
Any A/V receiver you buy nowadays will not last nearly as long as the 2-channel stereo that you got almost 3 decades ago.....
