I have to wonder if Dolby does not covertly encourage DTS to remain in business as much to ward off monopoly charges as anything else; the firm makes 10x less revenue... http://www.wikinvest.com/stock/DTS_(DTSI)

Remember that Atmos and DTS-x are set up for NINE channels of speakers normally a 5.1.4 arrangement. Even the 5.1.2 setup requires 7 channels. At this point I am unsure if the channels are hardwired as overhead or can be configured to support non-atmos 7.1 or 9.1. Anyone know for sure.

Atmos and DTS:X are currently 11.1 on mainstream gear, which can be laid out as 7.1.4 or 9.1.2, which means non-Atmos sources can be played back with either of those layouts (with or without heights).

Did I miss an announcement? When did the Marantz NR1606 appear on the product list? Is this the "New ATMOS Processor, errr Receiver"?

Nope, you didn't miss anything; it was just recently put up to replace the NR1506 we had been carrying. As you all know, we've been offering a few Marantz products for some time. We were able to test out the NR1606 and we were really, quite impressed. It is something we are happy to offer and recommend as an all-in-one HT solution for people with efficient speakers or with smaller sized rooms. It is also a great pair with the Atlantic Technology 3.1HSB soundbase!

Hopefully this bodes well for the new Outlaw processor. The specs on the NR1606 sound a lot like what the original email said.

Wow... they sure do. That receiver certainly suggests that Outlaw's new processor could come in closer to 1,000 than 2,000, though. Seems one of the biggest arguments I was reading for pricing it higher was the inclusion of both new surround formats but here they are and it's not even 700.
Actually, can anyone tell me what wi-fi would be used for? Is that for streaming Spotify, etc?

Marantz receivers have access to Spotify, Sirius, etc. so probably for that and for DLNA streaming would be my guess.

The Marantz specs state that the NR1606 is capable of 100 wpc into 4 ohms and 50 wpc into 8 ohms. However, the power cord says 250 watts max so I would not expect it to challenge any of the amps Outlaw markets as far as available power.
