Any thoughts as to what "we have given the new product the robust computing power required to include a revolutionary new technology" is referring to?

I am curious as to what revolutionary technology might be included.

If it IS revolutionary, then I would suspect Outlaw will keep tight lips on it. Loose lips sink ships, after all!

There have been a few good suggestions offered in another thread here at the saloon, mostly relating to room correction (similar to Audyssey). I also tossed out the idea that it might be something similar to Dolby Volume, which compensates for those annoyingly loud commercials (just one example of what it does).

You touched on one my wish list items. Just for the commercial "muting", Dolby volume (or equal) would be an excellent feature.It is really annoying when the commercials get louder than the program you are watching. Most of the time it is the cheesy/poorly produced local commercials. It may not be the case, but it often crosses my mind about damage to my speakers. What else does Dolby Volume do?

I assumed the new processor would have room correction. Are you suggesting an improved romm correction algorithm?

Dolby volume is interesting, I wonder how well it works?

I can't take credit for the idea - in this thread , klh suggested that they might be talking about Trinnov, a competitor of sorts to Audyssey that is planned for the Sherwood R-972.

The mention of Dolby volume really peaked my curiosity. I found this FAQ page on the Dolby web site, very interesting technology.

Dolby Volume

I hope it is included in the new 990.

Keep in mind it's all guesswork at this point. It could be Dolby Volume, it could be Trinnov, or it could be something else entirely...

Gonk, will you be updating your processor chart when the new Outlaw processor comes out? Lots of changes in technology since your last update. I used your spreadsheet as a baseline when I was looking to upgrade a while back. As a matter of fact, I have enjoyed the references you attached in your signature.
