We don't know that much about the 990 and we know even less about the 1070, but the 990 vs 1070 is the question I need to get answered. My situation is such where I really need to upgrade (my current sound processor has Dolby Surround ... and that's it). I'm wired for 7.1 surround and my video is wired for s-video, component, and DVI. My main usage for my HT is movies and sports with very little music.

I realize the differences between pre/pro and receiver and I'm not interested in that whole discussion (i.e. quality of separates vs receivers). I'm more interested in the feature comparison between the 990 and 1070 that may sway me one way or the other.

Any takers on comparing these units?
