The Pioneer HTP-725DV or the Sony DDW840 for hassle free listening.

Who let the troll out?!! LOL. There are NOT many problems with the Onkyo that affect the sound quality. There is one current known problem with a select production run of the receiver in the HTS-650. The problem is limited to the lfe channel in dolby digital. DTS playback is not affected. Onkyo is aware and is looking for the fix. My receiver has that problem, but, when running in Mode 1 on the subwoofer with crossover at 120, the 650 kicks the heck out of the Sony's and Kenwoods in this price range - even with the problem. I cannot speak to the Pioneer, as I did not listen to that when I bought.
