Hi !
The new onkyo TX-SR 606 is the best surround amp on the market for under £500 period.
We borrowed one for a few weeks whilst our onkyo TX-SR 875 was being repaired. We bought our 875 last year for £999.99 and this new buget model is about 95% of the performance of the 875.

It has 4 HDMI inputs and is HD audio and video compliant. It is easy to set up, and sounds fantastic with movies.
We have used the HD video scaler and normal DVDs look vastly improved. The unit we borrowd was in black (it is available in silver also) and looked substantial and stylish.

Regarding the sound it steers audio around the room fantastically and never seems to be trying too hard or sounding harsh at higher levels.

Overall a brilliant buy.

Onkyo TX-SR606 - review by dca860

Advantages: great connectivity, great 720p (1080i) upscaler, great looks, excellent clarity of sound.
Disadvantages: Doesn't upscale to 1080p, a 4th HDMI would be useful.
