A wish from someone who has a 2.0 (= stereo) setup now but hopes to go multichannel in the next year: the capacity to memorize channel balance and EQ settings for three or more positions in the listening area - not just the full-frontal sweet spot - and either switch among them with the remote, or do a room-wide average. Such a capacity might make the 990 unique among HT processors.

Might as well dream big.
