Well stated, gonk; I've got to wonder though: You can pick up the Onkyo TX-SR705 receiver -- which includes Audyssey MultiEQ -- for about $650 online. At the opposite side of the spectrum, the Onkyo pro and Integra pre/pros with Audyssey MultiEQ retail for $1,600 - $2,000. That makes me think the Audyssey processor is not the determining factor in the price differential. I could be wrong. Perhaps Onkyo has some sweetheart deal based on volume of sales that Outlaw could never touch.

If not, I would hope everyone would pay roughly the same for the chips and salsa that make Audyssey work (isn't that the case with surround processing chips?). Therefore, Outlaw could include it in the next generation of pre/pros and compete with the big dogs.

I realize I may be missing something here in terms of economies of scale, so if my reasoning is way off on this one, let me know.
