If they keep the analog bass management (which I agree is a handy feature that I liked on my Model 950), it will almost certainly not be adjustable. The fixed 80Hz crossover is needed because anything else adds complexity very rapidly, and thus cost as well. The ICBM-1 offered adjustable analog bass management with 20Hz steps, and even in a 6.1 configuration (not the 7.1 that would be needed here) it sold for $250 when it was released five or six years ago. Cramming that sort of adjustment (especially in smaller steps) into a surround processor that will be HDMI-based to a great degree would be both expensive and foolish. Adding even $100 or $150 to the price tag for a feature that will see much less use due to the inevitable migration of sources to HDMI in place of multichannel analog would really hurt their competitiveness, and thus hurt sales as well.
