Trikos - I'm with you on the anxiety level, like you I've just spent the last 6 months building a HT in my basement - I'm just finishing up some acoustic treatments. Like you, I was set to buy something else (along w/ the 7100) when the 990 was announced. I was extremely happy with the announcement, but the wait has been a bit trying. I was traveling when the reservation in April was open, luckily I was able to get home at 9:45 (45 minutes after the opening) and place my intent. Thursday I received the invite to buy, which I did (990 & 7100).

Now that I know it's coming I'm focusing on completing the HT - although I also need to buy a rack. I'll probably receive my equipment at the end of the coming week, which is fine for me. The next big decision: what DVD to play 1st?

Best of luck - your sub sounds awesome.
