Back in this thread there was a digression where I went to futureshop to demo ATMOS on a pioneer SC-85 receiver. Had to update it to get it to work yadda yadda yadda.....

Anyway a few months ago it was 1799$. Now it is 1099$. I would guess they will go lower. Once the DTS:X rollout happens ATMOS only AVRs will be clearing out. (Obsolete next to full featured models on the showroom floor.)

Take note peeps! This is an inbetween cycle of misfit gear. They wont do DTS:X or the coming UHD standards properly... BUT if you dont care about that kind of stuff you can get a flagship legacy format AVR now for a very reasonable price.
