My Onkyo TX-SR706 has finally took a crap. I originally post about loud static and picture roll then after about a few minutes all was well. Now I have no sound and no picture.

I need recommendation on replacement unit. Need comparable unit or better. I have no idea what i really need but I do know i have sub-woofer, four speakers in ceiling, center speaker, two speakers outside, and ipod docking station. I have Cable HD but an older Sony TV which i'm thinking of upgrading next yr. I also have blue ray and wii game. I would have called by audio guy who did the install a few years ago but he has lost everything with the economy downturn. Need some help.

thanks in advance.

Denon AVR-3312CI, Onkyo TX-NR809, Yamaha RX-A1010 are all under $1k online.

Yamaha RX-A3000 sometimes come up on sale as low as $900 on newegg and Marantz SR-6005 can be found for around $700 online.

Also Best Buy Magnolia Open Box prices can be insane. I've seen a RX-A3000 go for $700 (60% off! :O)

Notwithstanding this high budget, one option might be to go for the Denon 2112ci. You should be able to bargain an authorized dealer down to the $400 range. Audio-wise, it has some benefits over your current Onkyo (it has Audyssey MultiEQ XT whereas I believe the Onkyo just has the MultiEQ). Where the Denon is lacking is in the video upscaling (it doesn't do it at all). But the capabilities of a good upscaling AVR might not be important if (a) your TV does a good job, or (b) you don't watch stuff that isn't already natively in HD format (I don't know how your wii fits into this second consideration).

Just saying, because saving $600 on the AVR might free up a lot of money for a killer TV.
