For the Next Generation 990, I'd make it HD. A name like Model 1000HD

I would add the following:

I would have 5 or 6 HDMI inputs and a two outputs.

Video up conversion to all the HD formats.

The latest audio codecs and processing.

Balanced Sub output.

Balanced Inputs.

I'd add another 7.1 channel input.


What I'd remove:

I'd remove all Composite Video and S-Video inputs and just have HDMI and Component with audio digital inputs and outputs.

Remove the USB port on back and put it on the front for firmware updates.

Aesthetically it could change, but I wouldn't be bothered if it didn't.

I'd like smaller increment adjustments in the crossover filter. For that matter, it wouldn't bother me if you had smaller increments across the board. Then you won't have any more complaints for that sort of thing whether it truly makes a difference or not.
