Onkyo TX-NR727

[Steve81]

For kicks I was just browsing through Onkyo's new lineup on their website and noticed that they're still continuing to screw with the 7xx model. With the 717, they neutered it's room correction to Audyssey 2EQ. For the 727 they've at least bumped it back up to standard MultEQ (the 709 had XT). But while with one hand they give us improved room correction, with the other they're taking away the preouts. Bravo Onkyo, bravo.

Meanwhile Marantz is delivering the SR5007 with 7.2 preouts and MultEQ XT.

You sure? I think that it only has XT.

My mistake, didn't mean to put the 32 in there.

Shucks. I was hoping for another knockdown-dragout like in the elevated sub thread.

"I own it, and I know that it has XT32. It says it right on the display."

"You're wrong. The brochure doesn't list it, so it can't have it."

Someone seems to be getting a little bored on their day off.

So true. In my defense, though, I would have been no less bored at work.
