Onkyo PR-SC885 and Marantz AV8003

[admin_exported]

Just been reading reviews of the Onkyo PR-SC885 and Marantz AV8003 on ultimateavmag.com. Onkyo seems to rate better on the video upscaling side whereas the Marantz seem to shine on the audio side. Haven't noticed any reference to the Onkyo PR-SC885 on this side of the Atlantic. Does anyone know if the new Onkyo PR-SC886 is a replacement for the 885 and if there are significant improvements on the newer model? I haven't been able to find any reviews for it online. Looking forward to a What HiFi review of both, hopefully in the not too distant future. Would be great if the review was on the web site shourtly

Just wondering if anyone has any info on the differences between the Onkyo PR-SC885 and PRSC-886 or has heard either of them. Would be interested also if WhatHiFi was going to review teh 886.
