And that's exactly what Denon is counting on. All those suckers early adopters that just have to have the latest and greatest.

Cheap a$$ed buggers Frugal people like me are happiest when the technology is well ahead of the market.

EXACTLY!

Dolby's plus is that they are already in the commercial cinema with Atmos, DTS's plus is that they are generally the preferred HD audio on blu-ray discs, Auro's plus is that they have a "3" layer system that costs a lot of money for all of the speaker repeats from layer 1 and 2, plus the V.O.G. speaker so that the ultra-high end people have something to throw their money at.

Ok, that was FILLED with (hopefully) obvious sarcasm towards Auro. I am sure that their system sounds great, but it will be an uphill battle for them to bump out Dolby and DTS.

2 years seems like a LONG time, but 2 years from now this will be settled, sound processors/receivers will all have Atmos/Auro/DTS-UHD and thus be cheaper, etc.

I look forward to HTIB Atmos systems. They will give people more speakers to line up on the mantel.

LOL, Ken!

Damn, now I have to add a mantle to my shopping list.

Nick. At my age, 2 years is a blink of an eye. I could have sworn that I bought my now dying display just last year.

I'm starting to sound like Jack.

Actually there is supposed to be a HTIB Atmos system for something like $800 that uses the up-firing speakers. So no additional speakers, although the vision of more is funny.

When Jack was a kid, someone had to re-paint a canvas 24 times a second.

My dad had one of those.

I thought he was rudely making fun of CatBrat until I noticed the "HTIB".

See. I got your back, Brian!
