I myself am deeply saddened by the way the 978 went. I do feel very sorry for the company. At this point I am not going to replace my AVR but will wait a bit to see how things play out for the future. I will probably add a pair of 2200s to my 7500 for that Outlaw 7.1 total power. I agree with you Hank in that I would love to know who this UNETHICAL customer is. And yes the Harmon group is mass market...I agree. I just want good quality without breaking the bank. I was thinking of the upcoming Marantz AV7007 but are THEY the culprit?

Sorry Scott to hear this. I support your company nontheless. Yours is an outside the box company.
