The RR2150 is a dream come true for anyone who can't stand the knobless, unreadable black boxes that represent modern audio equipment. Now, how about the necessary accessories to enable the RR2150 to vanquish the black hole of AV receivers? I'm talking about a processor and surround channel amps with the same look and feel of the RR2150 to plug into its EPL.

Or, if Outlaw is still mulling over what comes after the 1070, they need look no further than the RR2150 for the platform...

Welcome to the forum, GeneK. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there's been a running discussion in the RR2150 section of the forum about the unit's knob "quirks." Most of us owners don't mind them, but my guess is that they won't be so easy to explain to those AV folks who perceive "knoblessness" as modern or futuristic. Just a thought…

Yeah, I can see that. That's why I was thinking about a processor+3-5 channel amp add-on in the same style as the RR2150. There used to be a few similar products to convert stereos to HT back in the Pro-Logic days, but haven't found one yet that does it with Dolby Digital and DTS.

As I mentioned in this thread , a separate surround processing unit is not practical.
