XenonMan you are THE END!

Thank you for your great input. I don't know too much on these things which is why I am learning. I will go with your advice and wait for the 978. Would balanced connection from the 978 to the 7500 and also from the 978 to my subwoofer (SVS PB 13 ultra w Sledge amp) be the better way to go?

Thanks
