The Onkyo TX-SR804 ($1,000 MSRP) is a 7.1 A/V receiver with switching for two HDMI inputs. We haven't reviewed this model yet, but we have reviewed the step-down TX-SR674 ($700 MSRP). The two receivers are very similar, but the TX-SR804 adds a few features, including THX certification, slightly higher wattage, and another optical digital audio input. A couple of enhancements are geared towards enthusiasts, such as pre-outs, a phono input for a turntable, and an RS-232 port. Whether these upgrades are worth the extra $300 depends on your preferences, but we think the less expensive TX-SR674 will probably be enough for most people. The TX-SR804 is available in silver or black finishes.
