One salient difference is that the Yamaha claims a 0.04 THD, and the
Onkyo a 0.08.
I THINK I have a pretty discerning ear. Do you think that difference
in THD would make much of a difference between those two receivers,
using that one pair of speakers?
These figure are specifications: they are written more as a legal
document than anything else, e.g., you might bitch about the
sound, but the manufacturer will put it on the test bench, measure
the THD, show you that it meets that spec, and you're on your own.
Further, THD is one of the LEAST useful measurements of
audio equipment.
Ignore it.
