I've reserved one & these are my thoughts:

1. Triple Crossover >>> I run Klipsch Cornwall II's as mains & want to set the crossover 60hz or lower to better integrate the sub while having the ability to match center & surrounds as needed (I run full-range surrounds)

3. Analog Bypass on all inputs possible >>> Digital processing is fine where actually needed but analog signals should stay analog from start to finish, the least processing usually results in the cleanest sound.

4. Newest Processing Options (DTS-ES, DPL II, etc) >>> I have a lot of VHS's I want to be able to use with DPL II, I can't afford to replace them all with DVD's anytime soon. Plus I want true 6-channel DD-EX & DTS-ES decoding for DVD's.

13. Outlaw design, build quality, & the company's ethics (OK, so I made that one up but its VERY important to me)
