I whole heartedly agree that the processor should be followed up by a receiver based on the processor. At some point the need for the latest Audyssey/ TRinnov/ARC/whatever is a minor consideration UNLESS the room you are using for your HT is whacked beyond control. Most of us wanted to see Trinnov implemented because it could spatially correct for multiple listening seats so that you could save different configurations based on where you wanted to sit. It would have been pretty cool to adjust all your speakers so they sounded the same even if they were different makes/models, but lets face it that feature can be corrected manually also. Buying new source material is likely the best bang for the $$$.
