My vote: No DSP modes.

My thoughts: When I see a unit with many bells & whistles, I DON'T think of quality. I think of quantity.

A Pre/Pro that does not have a lot of bells & whistles will always seem to focus on other things such as build quality, sound quality, etc.

As long as there is no extra cost or trade-off, why not?

Plus maybe you Outlaws can create some DSP's that are accually useful!

I have to say NAY to DSPs!

Yes - thumbs up

-...to a few dsp modes. I think 4 channel stereo (no center channel), 5 channel stereo, a Party dsp (I forget what it is usually called) that mirrors the front L/R stereo signal in the rear L/R speakers so you end up with the same signal in the front and rear left speakers as well as the same signal in the right front and rear speakers (I hope that makes sense.) It also might be interesting to have one mode that could be completely tweaked (reverb, decay, etc...) and saved to one's own preference. I usually never use any of the hall, cinema, or concert dsps'.

thanks Outlaw

Nope on DSPs. The only one I ever use is Dolby Pro Logic II, and it isn't really a DSP. If cost isn't an issue, sure put them on there but dont cut back on something else for more DSPs.

NO DSP's. If I wanted to listen to a jazz club I'd go there and not in my home. Used DSP's for several years with that Yamaha receiver. Tired and worn out with that crap Thanks.

Maybe a multi-channel stereo mode for when you want some background music while you are doing things around the house, but other than that--no.

i vote yeah on dsp modes.

nay

I like the idea of Pro-logic II being included. As for the other DSPs, I think that they are unnecessary. I never use them but would not be against including them (unless they add to the cost!).
