onkyo 708 or 808??

[admin_exported]

Can anyone please tell me if theres any difference in sound quality with these 2 receivers? From comparing both on the Onkyo site, it seems the major differences are: 1: 2 HDMI outputs 2:an extra zone 3:an extra 10 watts pc. As i don't really require any of these extras, my only concern is of course performance for the ears and eyes?

I don't know Dave....608 was a winner last mnth and the 808 won this months shoot it out....it would be reasonable to assume that the 708 is no slouch....

Rumour has it that the 708 is the same sound quality as the 608, but with extra features....

The 808 is a step up in sound quality........

That's what I have heard, anyway.......

Not funny, mate.........I'm a recovering alcoholic!!!!!

A mate is interested in the new Onkyo range, and has been doing some research on them.....

Those were his conclusions....

No, not really, just a pre preprogrammed response
