I have not been keeping up on new AVR's or Pre's for a couple years. I've been quite happy with my 3808. Now I have a new projector on order and a new 3-D BR player. I hate 3-D, but have a funny feeling if I don't move up to the latest HDMI spec, I'll run into headaches.

Seams like there are few, if any options for finding an AVR or Pre that will allow width, height and surround back speakers at that same time. At least that was the case last time I looked. Anything new here?

I would really like dual LFE outputs that actually have independent calibration.

I have ten channels X 200 watts.

I use a Lumagen Radiance XS for video processing, so it doesn't matter what chip the pre would have, but complete unadulterated pass through is important.
