my thought as well. AVRs are 'throw aways' IMO because the tech is changing by leaps and bounds.
i can't imagine giving up my bluetooth, wifi, 127 HDMI ports and all the new firmware updates onkyo pushes my way now in a sub $300 unit.
6 years ago i was happy to have 5.1 audio and 4 hdmi ports.

My front speakers alone cost $3,200 per pair.
Onkyo 3008's selling point for me was using massive transformers for a receiver (receiver weighs 60 lbs) and having the same Burr-Brown PCM1796 DAC as below receivers:
$7,500 Denon A1HD receiver
$7,000 Denon AVP-A1 Pre-Pro
$5,000 Yamaha RX-Z11 receiver
$5,200 Denon AVR-5308CI receiver
$2,000 Denon 3800 blu-ray player
$2,100 Marantz BD8002 blu-ray player
Rather than buying a separate pre amp, power amp, and DAC I thoguht I'd try all-in-one Onkyo flagship receiver because it had good power for a receiver and a good DAC. Onkyo did deliver the best "bang for the buck" until it failed on me.
