Hawkson,

Thanks for the input. I figured, with my ears, the bass mgmt would not be enough to make me switch. What about the upgrade feature? As an HK owner, are you aware of the providing updates? Would it include new functionality like DPL2x are do they just use it to fix bugs?

BTW, The Lord of the Rings movies make good use of the surrounds...wind and rain yes, but also birds all around you, arrows whizzing past, horses fading off behind you, and a particully cool effect when the ringwraiths talk.
