I have an Onkyo 605. Every year around this time Onkyo introduces a new model. The 605 cam out in May 2007, the 606 in May 2008, so now it's time for the 607. I scanning over the Crutchfield specs, it looks like the only major diffrence is the number of HDMI inputs. My 605 only has two, the 606 has three, looks like they upped it to 6 HDMI inputs. Same 90 watt, TrueHD & DTS Master Audio decoding, and 7.1 channel support introduced on the 605 model. Pansonic introduced a new receiver recently, the SA-BX500: 7.1 Channels / 130 Watts x 7 Channels / Auto Speaker Set Up / 3 HDMI inputs, TrueHD & DTS Master Audio decoding. Sounds like a nice receiver. The list price is $799, but Amazon and J&R (jr.com) have it for only $299. Worth a look.

The full package w/ 606 You threw me off with "pre-assembled package"; I never heard it called that. It's usually called Home Theater in a Box, HTIB. I've read good things about Onkyo's HTIB, and it's a good price. But personally I prefer to put together my own speaker system. I've had Home Theater Direct speakers since 2003, and been very pleased with them. HTD.com
