The 2005 lineup includes three new audio video receivers, two DVD/Super-Audio CD (SACD) players, and sleek flat panel-matching speakers. In particular, the STR-DA7100ES 7.1 channel home theater receiver features High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) with analog source up conversion and switching capabilities and a new 32 bit S-Master Pro digital amplifier delivers 170 watts of power to seven channels. The STR-DA7100ES receiver will be available this summer for about $2,000.

Sony states the ES line 7100 receiver would be introduced, has anyone seen reviews? Nothing at Sony's website that I could find. I wonder if the ES line is going down gradually, it seems like less and less is being offered.
