whiteice78 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 Forgot to add. The thing that attracted me to this unit is the "Front stage focus advance" feature. This allows for all the speakers to be placed in front.. aiyah, cut and paste better:Front Stage Surround Advance Front Stage Surround Advance allows you to enjoy surround sound with all the speakers placed in front. Since wall reflections are not used, the setup is less dependent on the room environment, and speakers can be aligned in front without cumbersome wiring running to the back of your room. Front Stage Surround Advance works by creating a difference in sound pressure perceived by the left and right ears, without altering the sound frequency response. This DSP technology creates excellent sound image and natural sound. Unlike conventional virtual surround methods, you are not left with the feeling of a simulated listening experience even after prolonged periods. Or is this just marketing?
