Sorry to hear about your trials and tribulations having MSB upgrade your Proceed PAV.
It is a problem with HT, as previously stated, that standards change so fast that one is continually upgrading. I have been on the Lexicon train myself: bought DC1, skipped DC2, bought MC1, skipped 4 upgrades, not yet purchased MC12 v1 or v2. That is at least 8 versions (there are more, because my DC1 also had a number of upgrades) in 5 - 6 years.
But, here is the important point, all these changes are a sure sign of a technology revolution. Think 'PC's circa 1985. The future will look different from today, but HT *is* the future. It is where all the innovations are going to be because it is where the so much of the MONEY is. It is just the way capitalism works.
Innovations will come from competition. Competition will be in the areas that are important to consumers and reviewers. I just hope that some of the reviewers appreciate the emotional and intimate nature of sound - all sound - more so than some of the 2-channel-only crowd.
Because there really should be no difference in quality between a sigh by Debbie Harry and a sigh by Carrie Ann Moss - or between Debbie Harry 2-channel and Debbie Harry music-video - just because one is visible and one is not.
