BTW, proper Room correction also requires massive computing power, so going with TWO chips is surely beneficial...
At that price ($1,400), I would expect it to have a good video processing solution - using probably either HQV Reon or ABT 2010.
And yes, I fully expect to see the CS 49700 in the 970 replacement (whenever it comes out).
Can you say
Trinnov Optimizer? The Sherwood Newcastle receiver that is also using the dual TI chips will have this robust EQ. For those that don't know, the stand along EQ is >$11,000 and those that have heard the pre-production R-972's have been blown away. This EQ system takes what Audyssey does, adds user selectable target curves for in room response (not just flat) and allows you to spatially reconfigure where each speaker is located. It is amazing stuff... and hopefully the new Outlaw pre/pro will have it!
