Is there a reason you went with the pro version instead of the 'regular' model? I know you don't have a rack and unless I missed a post somewhere, I didn't think you were planning on getting one. Other than the rack mounts, does the 5507P offer anything beyond what the 5507 does?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to your review of the 5507P. If you wouldn't mind, how much did you pay for the unit? Feel free to PM me the cost if you want.

there is no 5507 other than the one i purchased which is the PR-SC5507; perhaps you are thinking of say the 5007. I could find a model 5507 in other than the pro version which doesn't mean what your saying isn't true.

as far as the rack mounting, that is an option that it comes with. the rack mounting gear is in a seperate box and can be used as an add-on, not a requirement. and you are correct, i don't have a rack nor do i intend to get one (you know what happens when we say stuff like that ) I went with this pre-pro because for me it offered the best value of technology for the money in what i wanted. it gives me the options for wide or height channels should i choose to go that route, it gives me the option for XLR connections for innerconnects (which I am going to use) it is a big step up in the direction i want to go. it has network capabilities, USB & DLNA features too. specialized ports for both my sirius radio & my iphone 3G that will take full advantage of those devices, multiple zones multiple HDMI inputs (one in the front) dual HDMI outputs, dual, individually calibrated sub-outs for that .2 action! multiple programable 12v triggers, stereo XLR input, multichannel analog inputs, it supports DSD for my SACD'S (would not give that up) it fits in the exact same foot print as my current (soon to be moved) Onkyo 805 (the best receiver they made in many years, imo, oh yes, soon to go on the selling block) and it has an OSD very similar to the 805 so the learning curve is almost 0 for me since i'm so familiar with the 805 and I have not had problems with my 805 so I stayed in the Onkyo family. I also wanted to go full seperates. now i have a geat pre-amp to match my two great amps and take my gear to it's realized potential. I hope that helped.

i'll pm you the info you requested.
