Die-Hard Proceed Owners...

I was wondering whether anyone had more info on what's going on with Levinson. I went to the web site and the pres. said they were doing a processor to complement the 40. It also mentioned that they were not in full production. What's the story?

Yes...and I hear it's gonna be $20/$30k.

The complement to the No.40 I heard was going to be
around $15/20K.

Think about it, the MC-8 is at the same price mark as
the AVP2, the MC-12B is $10k, and not a lot of people
can afford $30k (atleast not since the .com bubble
bursted). Also, I believe this new unit is more than
a year off. Don't forget, they are working on a
Levinson DVD player too.

Moving forward, we/us Proceed die-hards need to unite
and pressure Harman to live up to thier promises
starting with the promised software upgrade which gives
the AVP2: Ultra2, DTS:NEO6, DTS96/24, etc...(as promised
on the Proceed webpage). This is already available as
version 2.00 for the No.40, and they claimed the two
units shared the same software. So as I see it, they
owned Madrigal when the promise was made, they own the
promise.

As I don't use a subwoofer the crossover changes are less important to me, but I would love to have access to PrologicII. Is this a major improvement on standard Prologic.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any AVP2 or upgrade kits in UK, and would prefer not to buy a US model with the resultant need for voltage change.
Certainly I remain enthralled with the sound quality from the standard AVP, both on film TV and music.

One question, on the demo unit I am trialling, all the lights on the buttons came on together suddenly last night. Whilst they went off again, I have now lost the first four digits of the display, which is a bit irritating/worrying. Has anyone experienced this?
Secondly, I have linked the AVP to the AMP5 using the PHAST ports, but this doesn't seem to result in the AVP controlling the AMP as I expected. Standby on the remote still only affects the AVP. Am I doing something wrong?

Ht4me - Any thoughts on getting the ball rolling on getting together & confronting Harman???

Petergc - Half my display went out on my AVP as well. When it popped, it put a divit in the display lense. Got my display replaced under warranty, The divit remains.

Go into the AVP menu, then "custom" and scroll down to make sure link is set to "on".
