<font color='#000080'>This is really going to depend upon what technologies make their way into these units. Certainly, if they incorporate enough they will be competition for mainstream solutions, but I wonder if they coudl compete with the fidelity af the major manufacturers - ala Denon, HK, Yamaha, etc...
So far, I've only seen front end solutions as well, while receivers continue to thrive and advance. With lowering of DVD players and the like, it may not be as easy as some would think.</font>
