Home Theater Receivers - Onkyo having difficulties of late

FYI for those looking into buying a home theater receiver, particularly on the upper end with the better bells and whistles.
Onkyo has acknowledged quality control issues on many of their receivers and are dealing with repairs/replacements and have actually extended their warranties in response to the number of failed units.
I've never owned an Onkyo but was considering one for my next purchase while also considering the alternative of separate preamp/processor and amplifier combo, not to mention other receivers.
My habit of over-researching came across the following link that discusses the problems at length. Add to it that Onkyo has dumped the Audyssey feature that allows for a fairly good room calibration of your audio system in favor of less than impressive knockoff feature. Reason for this appears to be driven by the Onkyo processor's inability to handle the workload and the company's unwillingness to add a dual core processor to make it a non-issue as other manufacturers have done.
This is fairly frustrating because Onkyo does have a couple of options with the latest and greatest HDMI "standard" for 4k video pass-through that some of the others do not.

Be sure to do your homework before pulling the trigger on these.
