The $2,799 flagship receiver from HK has all the right buzz words going for it, including Faroudja DCDi video processing and scaling to 1080p, Dolby Volume, in-receiver decoding of Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD MA, four HDMI inputs (only one output though), Internet radio and seven channels of 110 watts.

The Revel Ultima Voice 2 on it's equally Ultima Voice 2 Pedestal. Behind and to the left are Salon 2 and Studio 2 (smaller) as well. Not new, but still something to lust after.

A true three-way, $1,250.

Now you can ISF calibrate each of the four HDMI inputs on Integra's new flagship DHC 9.9 pre-pro. Differences between your setup box, BD player and gaming machine can be leveled before hitting your display device. Prior to this, your choices were calibrate your device for the "best" of your sources., or calibrate them all in your display device and remember to switch between the memories manually (remember, they're hitting your display via a single HDMI cable), and that's only if your projector or flat screen had that many memories! Integra worked extensively with Joel Silver of the ISF to make sure this worked right and the DHC 9.9, as well Integra's two top AVRs, the DTR-9.9 and DTR-8.9, get this ISF capability and that elusive seal of approval.
