I seem to recall that Axiom's philosophy in the past has been that a mic does not equal two ears and a brain, so I doubt they would implement any type of mic based calibration now.

I don't think this new product is intended to go head to head with 7.1. It may be more of an elite 2.0 type setup, or an alternative to fronts with height and/or wide speakers.

All just speculation on my part.
