Alex, if you mean was I suggesting something that could only play the front drivers of the LFR, certainly not, since that wouldn't be what really makes them what they are. The L and R analog outputs of the player would connect to the DSP unit and the front DSP outputs to the front analog inputs of the Onkyo Charles has, then the back DSP outputs to the surround analog inputs. If the player had multi-channel analog outputs they could also be used direct to the receiver inputs.

You and Shawn are showing justified excitement over the shipment about to happen and there's no good reason why Charles can't join the party instead of waiting about a month.
