Setup -Both are easy, no issues at all
HDMI Input - With both receivers, the Ruko and Sony Blu-Ray player plugged in and worked perfectly. But then, here comes the DirecTV Streamimg box. The DirecTV Streaming box is JUNK! The Yamaha did not like it at all. I had to take off the HDMI control to get it to work on the Yamaha. If I didn't do that, the HDMI would switch to another input, like the Roku. I looked up this problem with DirecTV and they said to disable HDMI control on the DirecTV box. Well, this the new Streaming box and it does NOT have this setting. I do not watch that much TV so I wound up not using the DirecTV Streaming box and just using the DirecTV app in the Roku, problem solved.
With the Onkyo receiver, the DirecTV Streaming box worked fine.
Front Display - The Yamaha front display is really small where the Onkyo is normal size and looks nice. The good thing in my den is the Yamaha is close to where I sit so the small size is not a problem for me. In my living room, that would be a problem and the Onkyo will work out great there.
I never tried the Denon receiver, with only 75 per channel, that just does not seem like enough to push my speakers
TV Display - With the Yamaha, when you are playing Adobe Vision, the volume control will NOT display. When not using Adobe Vision, the volume control displays fine. On the Onkyo, the volume control displays fine in all modes.
Sound quality, most important to me - I only use the den to watch movies. The sound from the Yamaha was a little better than the Onkyo. It was a little more crisp and with the Atmos sound is where the Yamaha really shinned compared to the Onkyo. I do not have Atmos in my living room so the Onkyo should be fine for that room's setup.
Wattage - Yamaha has 100w per channel while the Onkyo has 90w has 90w per channel. This is maybe why the Yamaha sounds a little better than the Onkyo
I kept the Yamaha over the Onkyo because the Yamaha sounds better, which is what I was after. All the other things were miner for me.
For the living room, I'm going with the Onkyo because of the DirecTV Streaming box issue. That is for my wife and the DirecTV Streaming box works better then Roku DirecTV app.
So I'm not feeling too good about that purchase. Looks like I have to return mine and I'll try to find a brand I can trust more than this. It sucks because this was my first experience with an AVR, as I'm upgrading from an old soundbar.

Have you tried connecting it to Google Home?
I call BS on your "review" of the Onkyo dying in two weeks and you doing research, blah blah blah.
SD should add the option of granting trolling awards!
Ayyyyy, some of us just show up to look for the deals as we need em
That said, my first AVR was an Onkyo entry level model that I bought around 2005 and that thing still works 100%. I swapped it out for a much beefier Denon when I got my big Klipsch speakers but the Onkyo still has patio duty and hums along beautifully.
I bought into the Costco Denon 760 deal several months back because I really really wanted eARC and streaming, but I've been underwhelmed with its performance (coming from the $1200 Denon of 2012, I thought a decade would put them in parity...nope). I'm tempted on this because the Denon just seems weak in the clarity at high volume category, general disappointment with the worthless thing that is HeOS, and annoyance with having to use a kinda crappy chromecast solution (unable to stream music from Google Home without it using the TV as a display because there's no audio-only mode on modern chromecasts, google home can't steam to old chromecast audio directly, and chromecast audio can't join speaker groups).
Anyone have any input on the Denon vs Onkyo in regards to Google Assistant & Chomecast integration? Ideally I want to be able to tell Google to play **** to the Stereo, and it will click on the receiver and stream.
Right now I have the Denon mostly working, but it's more "tell Google, TV turns on and starts connecting, then the receiver turns on" and after about 30 seconds I'll have streaming audio and have only missed the first 10 seconds or so of the music, and the TV has to stay on with the Chromecast display showing my cool custom library of pure-black photos .

first - when you did the comparison if you didn't volume correct for each receiver then the results are meaningless. An increase in volume will always make a difference. So uncorrected volume comparisons are not an accurate assessment.
the wattage ratings (90 vs 100 wpc) are 2 CHANNEL ratings. those figures drop a lot (50-70% of the rated 2 channel power is common) when running ALL CHANNELS. so unless you did an all channels driven bench test you don't know what each is putting out. the newer yamahas have a ton of nannies built in that severely limit power. noted several times by Audioholics ( A well respected audio/video review site)
They all rate the power differently, you should really never look at the "specs".
Though of all 3 receivers Costco's selling right now, I feel like Yamaha would produce the best audio quality with their amp.
Onkyo wins if you need 2 HDMI out.

What recession?
Always compare the FTC rating which is 2 channels driven. 20-20,000 Hz with 8 ohms impedance. then you are always comparing apples to apples.
