I hope the X2900H has two discrete subouts.

I hope the X2900H has two discrete subouts.

Very unlikely to have as they need to save most of the important features/connections for the 3000 serie. It should not cost much to implement those same as pre-outs for power amp, right? Still we don`t see them in any lower mid-range products. They want us to spend more for higher models.

Just what I was wondering

There's way for them to keep the same budget but still achieve those basic goals, for example, if I were in their engineering/marketing team I would want them to replace the 7.1 with 5.1 but two discrete subouts, cost would then likely be the same. The best would be just provide 8 channels discrete and make two of them assignable, but then marketing people are smart in luring people to buy things they may not need but think they need and/or coerce them to buy the higher models that gives them higher margin lol..

Fact is, quality of bass is king, in terms % contribution to perceived sound quality (see Dr. Toole's articles/books). With RC such as Audyssey, Dirac Live, two discrete subs would make significantly better bass quality.

SU changing owners every few years and still managing to release new models every year.

Meanwhile back at the ranch where the chickens and cows are roaming, Yamaha still showing nothing but crickets.

 

[Wardog555]

Took them long enough for a new model.

 

[PENG]

Took them long enough for a new model.

They probably know that people who spent hundreds on the Dirac Live licenses might want to keep their 3800/4800/6800 for more than 3 years.
