Reliability seems to be somewhat an issue. I did looked at the 705 though. Nothings written in stone at this point.

I think the consensus is they run hot if they do video processing - Jazz Inmate 18:52:25 05/16/08 (1)
You won't need your receiver for that. Just tell the receiver to pass through the video unprocessed and let your plasma deal with it. The audio processing alone won't overheat the Onkyo. But you're probably ok with the Yamaha. I dunno.

  You may be right. I've also heard about popping speakers when switching sources or something like that. However, reviewers apparently love the Onkyo 805.
  I have always appreciated Yamaha's quality and they have been around a long time. I've never owned one of their audio components but have had several of their motorcycles which were very good............and very fast.
