*shrug*

I'm sure if/when they ever get around to releasing the darned thing, it will be accompanied by a copious amount of "See, we told ya it was coming" and "thanks for being patient." Meanwhile, it has been made completely irrelevant in the marketplace unless you're after a unit with few features and balanced pre-outs. I get no joy from saying that, but that's just the way it is. Seems like Onkyo owns the budget end of the market if you want an Audyssey XT32 processor at this stage of the game.

Best,
