Was a tough call between the Onkyo and Denom, but in the end, decided to go with the Onkyo based off this comment:
https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...t-61229124

The extra HDMI out port will come in handy in the future.
I agree with this person's review. I had both and replaced the Denon AVR S760H for the Onkyo TX-NR6050 because there are issue with HDMI handshaking with CEC turned on, limit power output, and I had an odd issue where Zone2 wouldn't stay disabled. I think the Zone2 might be more related to the aftermarket remote I was using to control the receiver, but I just wanted the feature off.

The Onkyo has more power and it sounds cleaner/brighter to me than the Denon, which I prefer for music and TV. However, I'll give a nod to the Denon that the surround sound effects seem to be more immersive and/or play louder where I cannot seem to get the Onkyo to do that. Otherwise, I think the Onkyo is better in many other respects, especially for configuration via PC (see this post).

If you still have your hearts set on the Denon receiver, disable the CEC features and you can avoid that headache. Otherwise I've found this Onkyo receiver to be more reliable for CEC features and more powerful overall. The only other call out is, you might hear clicks from the Onkyo receiver when switching audio formats which are quite loud, but it doesn't happen super often.

Anyway, hope that helps others!
Thanks for posting this, I just re-bought this yesterday (returned multiple times in the past due to indecisiveness and being broke).
A little price history: $450 was the original SRP of the Denon AVR S760H before the semiconductor shortage and US inflation raised the SRP to $500.

Btw this is only a Costco unit meaning if you buy it anywhere else you get zero warranty.

Proof?

It's a Costco exclusive item as stated on Costco's website. So by that statement alone, no other retailers can sell it. This is further aided by the fact you will not be able to find any BNIB 6050 in any other stores like BB, Amazon, Adorama, B&H, etc only via third party merchants. The retail version of this receiver is the 6100 which is only marginally better.

Your post would have made more sense had you said buying from an unauthorized Onkyo dealer would void the warranty. Btw, Costco is not on the authorized dealer list on Onkyo's webpage. I did read a post where someone had trouble with their Onkyo AVR bought at Costco and Onkyo was going to accept it for repair.
I would be willing to wager that if for some crazy reason, these units somehow got redirected to some other authorized seller, like ABT, or Onecall, or Sound Distributors, Onkyo would honor the warranty. You know...an Onkyo product from and authorized Onkyo seller.

I remember seeing that except it was for the Denon instead of the Onkyo. I can't recall another exclusive Onkyo made for Costco, could be wrong though.

Costco isn't on that site, but it is on the product page here should trump whatever the authorized list says:
