3D playback in the home may not be going mainstream just as yet, but Onkyo have been releasing a slew of 3D capable receivers lately. Hot on the heels of the TX-SR608 comes the new Onkyo HT-RC260. It is almost similar in specs to the 7.2 channel SR608 except for a few minor features and costs $50 less. The power rating is the same at 100W per channel which is enough to drive mid sized speakers to room filling volume levels. It has 6 HDMI 1.4a inputs, which is more than enough for your hi-def sources.
