I have looked carefully to buy the 605 or 705. They are basicly the same model with the same front panel.

But

The 705 is THX select 2, and it has better converters from Crystal.
705 has DSD processing from a HDMI output SACD player, and an input for turntable.
705 have a much better loudspeaker setup and measuring system.
705 have 3 HDMI inputs, 605 have 2.

They share the front, but the 605 is designed to have a low price, the 705 to have a good sound and more features.

I have had many years of good sound from Onkyo receivers.
