I am Gonna Keep My Eyes Out For This Future Processor....

The Denon Seporates are simply facsinating to me. I hope they come out soon. I am especially interested in the Processor ~ HDMI 1.3 and all the HD sound offerings for HT as well as 10.2 capabilities. Thanks again Joe for sharing the infro as well as the photo...

Looks very similar to the Mcintosh MX119 but with most bells and whistles...

Hey Robin,

I have one of these for sale if you want one... An McIntosh MX 134 that is.
