I finally decided on the speaker setup for my college dorm room (25x15 but will be setup in a 10x15 space). I will be going with Athena B2's as the front and rears, Athena C1 as the center, but I am still undecided on the sub (any suggestions for a dorm room?). I will be mostly using this for DVDs, Xbox, and PS2 (80%) but I will also use it to listen to music (20%). I was going to wait for the Panasonic as I can get it for cost because my dad is an authorized retailer but I will probably be picking up these speakers this weekend and who knows when the XR70 will come out. I was wondering if there was a comparable Reciever out on the market now that will fit my setup? Also, I see the XR70 has an HDMI input and I am going to get a S97 DVD player, so would the HDMI be necessary? Thanks.

According to Panasonic, the XR70 is now slated for November release. Of course, there could always be another delay...

It'll be 2 weeks.

Well over at AA someone is reporting it will be the end of November! So make that six weeks. I don't think I can wait that long.

There's another rumor that it will be only sold through select dealers (whatever that means).
