  Lars,

  I hate to be picky, but there is no offical 7.1 standard. What is sold as 7.1 is really 6.1 with two monophonic speakers.

  That being said, Rotel now offers their model 1066, which is fully "buzz format compliant", offering Dolby Pro-Logic 2, DD (with EX processing), DTS-ES (matrix and discrete), plus an external 6.1 input.

  I don't know the asking price of the product though.

  Regards,

    Hello again

    Have investigated in to the 1066 from rotel tha you mentioned, and as I understand it, this is a combined amplifer processor etc.

    I'am already in possetion of a RB1070 and a RMB1066 3-ch amp. which I have put in to an elderly Sony STR-50ES surroundamp using pre out.

    I have the Infinity Kappa 90 in front the Infinity Kappa Video in center and a pair of old Infinity Modulus mrk II for rear.

    Now I want to change the Sony AND the Modulus for something else (read better) and buy a pair more for the 6.1/7.1 mode

    Brgds

    Hello Kotches

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I've probally misunderstanded the article I read.

    I'am new to the surround systems. Has up to now only been interessted in regular 2-channel stereo. But after I bought the Rotel RDV-1080 earlyer this year I have tried to read up on this subject. And to my knowledge the new was 6.1 and 7.1, and I would hate myself if I bought a 5.1 processor that would be out of line tommorow.

    Therefor I am seeking for a procseeor that would be able to be opdated regulary.

    Cause I'am living in Greenland at this moment there are not very many possibilities to talk to radio stores on a regular basis

    Lars

      In terms of regular updating,there are a few companies that have delivered the upgrades:

      Meridian, Lexicon, TAG, Theta

      have consistently demonstrated ability to upgrade their products in the field.

      They are a bit pricier than the Rotel.

      Regards,

          The number of physical outputs avaialable to drive additional channels is important. You can update SW all you want, but adding physical HW (ie channels) is not a trivial or cheap trick. Count those outputs before you buy.
