rated power test results sound & vision mag

i'm shopping a new avr $700 range but i would like to get more for less. i'm currently looking at h/k 430 onkyo tx sr702 and integra dtr-6.5. leaning tward the onkyo for thx and value. then i came across this http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/3401/ratevsac.htm

assuming this information is correct there seems to be some real winners and loosers here. i sure don't want to spend my hard earned scratch on some high dollar avr that barly does 30 watts when all ch used. i thought the thx select rating required it preform to a min power rating.

does anybody have lab results for the onkyo tx sr-702 and or the integra dtr-6.5? i feel no need to check up on harman kardon but it would also be interesting to see real preformance. i have been searching but dont have accesss to audiophile.com or other paysites.

looking forward to any comments and suggestions thank you all.

My rec is if you cannot afford a pre-pro / amp setup, get a reciever that has pre-outs so upgrading the amp quality is less expencive as the reciever can be used as a pre-pro after you buy some external amps.

ive been running a denon avr 3805 and think the sound is great for a reciever (my amp broke and is about to be sent in for repair), but i do miss my amp.
