I must be missing something here. I would think that when a large company or organization suddenly makes a shocking announcement, they’d give some kind of idea/description about the technology used to get people to start buying into it right away. I got the impression Shenzhen didn’t do that...

I like the Auro upmixer too but I'm finding the "Strength" less and less appealing the more I listen. I keep turning it further down. I'm down to 3 now. Haven't tried it on movies yet.

I wait until the old one is shot. But then for a replacement I usually go with the good stuff. The last TV I bought was a 4K OLED.

Good move by Onkyo & Integra. It'll be interesting to see how they do in the marketplace.

I feel your pain. I lost a wife and a daughter about 20 years ago now so I know what you're going through. My sincere condolences.

Auro 3D is easily my favorite up-mixer. Would really like to try the real thing. Please keep us posted.

FargateOne, if you live in the US, whenever you use any type Auro you'll be using an upmixer as Auro isn't used by US based movie, TV, or recording studios (at least that I know of). Whenever upmixing, it doesn't mean it only upmixes to 7.3.6. It can upmix into numerous different combinations...

I sure hope it takes hold here in the U.S. Sounds like a great technology.

Good to know. Thanks. For custom cables I've been going through Blue Jeans Cable. They carry good name brand stuff like Canare and Belden. They don't have as large of a selection as some other places, but their turn-around time on custom stuff is very fast. Got my last order in just 3 business days.

It may be competitively priced, but that means they're all overpriced. I'd be willing to bet they'd make more profit if they cut the price in half because they'd sell more than twice as many. Too bad we'll never find out.

The ad says 30% off the bass control. Are they taking 30% off of everything? Even if they are, $550 is still too much as far as I'm concerned.

Totally agree. It's great that it's an option, and glad we're not forced to pay for it in a higher purchase price. Although I'm not impressed with Audyssey, it's better than nothing.

Thanks for the update Todd. I hate to be a party poop here, but Diracs' pricing isn’t within reason. I’ve already spent thousands buying my AV10 (haven't finished hooking it up yet), and now Dirac wants me to spend another $800 to cover the full spectrum and the subs?! Like Al would say on Tool...

I can certainly understand that. I have relatives who feel the same way.

Ok. That explains it. Thanks.
