My 605 is approaching its 10th birthday. It is still doing a decent job but I might use its anniversary as an excuse for an upgrade.
It has a 5.1 speaker system connected. I have experimented with 7.1 but it is not a priority. Upgrading the speakers is a possibility but not any time soon. The TV will be next.
Features that I would like:
Support a 4k TV and 4k sources but also work with my existing HD TV and sources.
Plenty of HDMI inputs including one at the front.
Line level analogue auxiliary out (which goes to a stereo amp in an adjacent room).
Internet radio and Spottify.
Support for two subs (nice but not essential).
Would be nice it was smaller and ran cooler than the Onkyo. Certainly no bigger.
Bluetooth connection for phones etc.
Features that I don't much care about
FM radio (it used to be important but the quality is too poor now).
7.1 (I never managed to acquire much 7.1 material).
More power - the 605 is ample for my needs.
Powered zone 2 (but see the line out requirement above).
