I'd like to see a few more multichannel ones, preferable with HDMI input(s) for us with only family rooms, space-non-huge-AVR-restrictions and compatibility with gaming consoles and so on but still want some great audio (Dirac Studio on HTPC as source etc).
The price span is huge so I think it would be interesting if the differences are in both design/build quality/QA and components used or if one area dominates over the other. Who knows, an ebaybox could contain a good idea but bad execution?
