New Onkyo receiver specs leaked?

by Matthew Moskovciak

There are some very enterprising members on AVS Forum. Poster "Ohgami" did some digging around the Internet to find some new information about Onkyo's upcoming receivers and happened to stumble upon specs for the entire 2007 lineup. Read all the details of his Onkyo receiver search (plus a very detailed post), or we've edited down the most important info below. We're not 100 percent sure this information is correct, and of course Onkyo has the ability to change the specs before the products are actually released, but we'll find out for sure at Onkyo's upcoming press event on April 24. For now, this looks legitimate to our eyes and we're pretty impressed at first glance.

Is this blurry photo really Onkyo's flagship TX-NR905 receiver?

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
