I use a Onkyo TX-SR805.  I haven't had any major problems with it.  It 
does mute for 1-2 sec when changing from ProLogic to DolbyDigital or any 
similar change, but I've gotten used to this.  There is new firmware on 
the way that should fix this and tighten up some lip sync issues.

But beyond those two small items I have high praise for this unit.  When 
I purchased it early this year I boycotted Denon because of the piece of 
!@#$% AVR-3300 that I was replacing.
