Whoah, for a moment there I confused the P7 for the C3 and was wondering why they went all analog and ditched processing and HDMI . I'm hoping to see some news soon on the C3 since we're approaching yet another expected release date for a pre-pro with the latest codecs. I'm seriously considering dumping my gear and going with an A51/A21 combo. Thanks for the link.

The AV8003 is the most musical multichannel prepro I have ever heard in it's price range. At the MSRP it's a bargain. It really is a tremendous piece. I love mine.

Similarly their 8002 AVR is THE most musical AVR I've heard in the $2k price range. I was in Ken Cranes the other day and listened to it again and was reminded just how silky smooth that unit is with 2-ch music. Hard to believe I was listening to an AVR.
