I haven't seen the 1020 announced yet, but I figure there will be one, and can guess at the specs. Although I'd like to see it have 9 channels of amplification in it, or at least allow the fronts to be run by external amps, and leave the 7 internal to the less important speakers. Or 9 pre-outs would be nice, a call back to the 1018 which has 7 outs.

Anyway, doesn't matter I'm done with integrated amps, and I guess that means Pioneer unless they start making a pre/pro.
