I'm wondering how I'd hook up my 6.1 system. Currently still using my old Outlaw 1050 and, it was designed with 6.1 in mind. Not sure what I'd do to hook up my rear center, looking at the back of the 978. It's just not feasable to tear my ht room apart to make room for a 7.1 system.

I assume you'd just hook up your center rear speaker to the left rear input on the 978, the way I do with my Integra DHC-80.2. I think most high end AVRs and pre-pros with 7-channel surround use just the left rear channel to accommodate a 6.1 system.

To avoid looking at the entire thread, can someone direct me to the current/lastest list of features?
The one I'm most curious about is whether the 978 will have 2 independent sub outputs. And then with XT32, whether they can be calibrated (and room EQ'ed) individually.

Thanks. The gallery picture has 2 sub outs, but nothing about whether they are individually EQ'ed with XT32: Audyssey MultEQ XT32
• Details to follow... But that *is* one benefit of XT32 in the Denon 4311CI over just XT in the Marantz AV7005, for example. (See, I'm trying to decide whether to do a shoot-out with the 4311CI vs the AV7005, or wait for the 978 to compare to the AV7005.  )

The 978 almost certainly will include Sub EQ HT... every other AVR or pre/pro which has MultEQ XT32 also bundles Sub EQ HT.
BTW, Sub EQ HT does not EQ multiple subs independently, as you implied in your previous post. What it does do is calibrate independently the delay and level for 2 subs (to maximize their combined output at the main listening position). It then EQs their combined output as a single "virtual" sub.

Is there *any* flavor of Audyssey that does EQ 2 subs independently?
Seems to me, the best way to do it would be to EQ each sub individually, *then* EQ them together with the main speakers.
If one sub has a "problem" frequency that the other doesn't, EQ'ing them together without first doing it individually wouldn't seem like it would give the best results.
I suppose you could use a dedicated sub EQ box on each sub 1st, then use Audyssey over top of that, which would do the same thing ... except for the added cost of those 2 sub EQ boxes.

Looks like a single SVS AS-EQ1 sub EQ can do it with XT32: In Dual Discrete mode (stereo subs) each subwoofer is EQ’ed independently and also requires independent trim and distance settings for each subwoofer in the AVR or Pre/Pro for it to be effective.
