Um, I may be mistaken, but I don't believe Elgar composed more than two symphonies...

Perhaps I should have read Wikipedia, which reports that Elgar worked on a third symphony before his death; "The Third Symphony sketches were elaborated by the composer Anthony Payne into a complete score in 1998."

Here's info from Chandos:

Has Onkyo walked away from Audyssey throughout their lineup?

Apparently so. Onkyo has informed us that its AccuEQ room correction is being used in all 2014 models.

Wow, huge mistake. Very unfortunate.

AccuEQ apparently doesn't even EQ the sub and the front L/R speakers....it just sets levels, distances and cross-overs, but no real EQ to the speakers. This alone is a reason not to buy Onkyo again in my book. My last receiver (Tx-NR5008) and my current processor (PR-SC5009) are Onkyo, and in my experience Audyssey has always had a huge effect on improving sound, both with Revel Concerta and Klipsch THX in-wall speakers and SVSound subs.

My Onkyo 727 is lacking a 120v switched outlet. The old amp had this, I was using it for backlighting, as well as bd-dvd,tape,phono,tv.
-- It lacks the ability to use the headphone jack without cutting out the speakers. There is a work-around using zone 2, but WHY??
