I believe the unit we saw at the Audioholics Party was an early demo/prototype unit. (At least that's what I overheard) It was not a final release item. I am quite sure that the Audioholics review staff will be glad to review a production unit when it's made available. Granted, that means one of them needs to add some more speakers to their reference theater
I was not able to play with the unit but did sit through a few demos. The extra effect of the "height channels" was interesting, to say the least. I'm just not sure how many people will want an 11.2 system in their house when they barely have enough room for 7.1 much less 5.1. The Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD are nice features that will definitely be a big selling point for this "beast" of a receiver.
