When we get measurements of AVP's (Marantz Cinema 10), I Hope they provide better performance. Because in those cases, the price is quite high and the amps cannot be blamed.I see a lot of comments, (not yours in particular) expecting ONE unit to do everything, have 7-9 amplifiers, look good, not cost a lot, have every feature and surround sound type, have great performance in every way, and think this will be an actual product that makes a profit..............
Then I see DACs that offer 2 channels and do nothing else, but get praised when they have a great SINAD and cost $1,000....!!
The cost to actually make a profitable AVR that will satisfy EVERY wish would be many thousands, not $1,500.........
This is a bit similar to bashing a minivan for not have great autocross skills.
In the past, AVP's compared poorly to AVR's far cheaper and more flexible, so we'll see with this generation.
