Sherwood Newcastle showed off two new receivers at CES, the R-872 and R-972. Both should be available in August and will include HDMI 1.3 inputs with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD processing, the major differences are listed below:
R-872
- Text on screen display
- 4 HDMI 1.3 inputs
- MSRP $999
R-972
- GUI on screen display
- 6 HDMI 1.3 inputs
- MSRP $1499
In my humble opinion, Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer, etc. are going to really have to come out with something special to get anywhere close to these kind of features at this low of a price point.
