I am also waiting to see what happens. While I can't get too excited about getting seperates to match, it would, however, be nice to have at some point in time.

300 watts per channel would be nice to have, but don't know how often I would use that much power.

I remain undecided as to whether balanced outputs will do much for me. I would only have a cable run of a foot or two.

Any other features that may be introduced with the 790?
