Wailer,
I hear ya! You ggot an awesome deal! One of the good things about Onkyo systems is the receivers in the HTIB are often very similar to their non-HTIB equivalents. That's why I got the S780 way back when despite people saying I should avoid HTIBs. Ignoring that advice was a great move as the Onkyo system is fantastic. 'course, audiophiles will likely be disappointed by it but the average person enjoys the audio immensely.
You just got me thinking... I don't need a new HTIB. For myself, I just need a new receiver. The rest of the components are in perfect shape. Since I'm looking at wireless setups for my friend - I wasn't able to dissuade him - I'm going to look at a replacement receiver for my configuration - one that has the HDMI features I want these days.
