Thanks for your perspective, thaluza, with Theta ridiculously out of my price range and, in my opinion, always on the verge of ceasing all product development (if it hasn't already happened) I didn't have a lot of choices.
I was thinking of buying a Theta Casanova (again!) for the sound quality, and price (~ $500) then I saw a couple of Meridian surround processors ~ $2k.
Ages ago I remember Meridian customers were super happy with their digital systems, but no idea bout their HT.
Maybe I'll just get a Marantz, they seem plentiful and inexpensive used, and up to current HDMI standards.
