Hello folks,
I am fairly new to the forum. Thus far I have only purchased my HDTV.
It must be difficult at times for the marketing department at Sherwood Newcastle.
Release dates for the 972:
August 07,September 07, January 08, March 08, May 08, June 08, Dec 08....
I was originally excited about this reciever because of the great reviews of the Reon processor and the Trinnov optimizer.
There are two downsides for me. It does not come with Ethernet. (I like to listen to high quality radio on Shoutcast)
It is also quite deep at 18" and would not work well asthetically with my setup causing me to lean towards the Denon 3808.
You can see the brochure of the 972 here:
