Oops... Marantz Stereo 70s seems to be 2.2 capable, it has two subwoofer outputs!

Super stoked! So you’ll have the 7040 available at launch?
Also any updated pics?

Yes for the 7040.
No new pics. Right now is the "non-sexy" work of firmware and PCB board finalizations.
Is the Low-pass filter fixed or variable/selectable? if fixed what is the freq or available freq to choose from?
Is there a High-pass filter available for the speaker outputs? if yes is it fixed or variable/selectable?, and will it be switchable(on/off)

Filters will be fixed. Values to be determined

Clarification added:
5-way Binding Post Speaker Outputs
- If user has selected a Filter Card for their sub outs, then a High Pass Filter (24dB Octave, Analog) will also be applied to speaker outputs

Somewhere around $1700/$1750
Will any of the add on feature cards allow for DSP based cross-over capabilities on the pre-outs? Also are you planning for two channel Dirac or four channels with Bass Control DIRAC that works with he subwoofer outputs?

The Add-on card details are still a work in progress. So I cannot give even "possible" solutions. But final details will be hashed out and concrete before we sell the base model integrated.

This is great. Looking forward to the final product! Any chance an A/B speaker output will be added so you can have two sets of speakers connected?

Most likely not. Only so much we can accommodate.
Will it have auto sensing?

I will have to answer this when the PCB board design is finalized.
Awesome feature! I like the idea of fixed freq. via cards as opposed to a pot or DSP.
