What processor?

Looks like it will be integra 9.8 then. Got to source a 240v version online as integra is not available where I come from. Thks for the feedbacks thus far. Happy listening

Ckorody, definitely considering panasonic bd55. Waiting for it to crawl to Malaysia. We are at least 6-9months behind in selling such stuffs.

A bit more background on KR4s point -

AudysseyPro software can only be accessed and implemented by a certified Audyssey installer - think of it as an ISF calibration for your sound. Supposedly adds considerably to what one can accomplish with the built in device since it uses a better mike, takes more readings etc. But it is not inexpensive - I think about $350-450. Hope to do it someday just to see. I suspect it will be a long, long time until one of these guys get to Malaysia LOL

To KR4s point, not all Audyssey equipped devices are Pro capable.

This is because Audyssey is a third party technology that is licensed to the OEMs (original equipment manufacturer like Integra). Some buy more of the technology and pay a higher license fee per unit, some buy less. Depends on whether the OEM's strategy is to compete on bells and whistles or on price.

ALSO looking ahead - and sorry this is not the case with the 9.8 - some of the manufacturers are designed their gear so one can upgrade the Audyssey feature set as new capabilities are introduced.

All Audyssey implementations are also limited by the amount of DSP the OEM is willing to put in the device. Some high(er)-end products have lesser and limited versions because the OEM was not willing to pay for the hardware.

Also, since it is unlikely that trained Pro installers are available everywhere, Audyssey has seen fit to sell the Pro kit to end users, something that I would like to see made more common. I use the Pro kit and prefer that to having anyone come to my home every time I change something. Cost aside, of course.

(BTW, speaking only for me, the new add-ons for Audyssey are not of interest but others will differ.)
