When comparing the Trinnov to an 861v8 let's make sure the apples are being compared to apples.

The Trinnov carries an onboard 4k HDMI switch, it has vastly superior room correction, channels can be separated out within the processor with crossover points to facilitate biamping and triamping, remote diagnostics, setup and software updates, very quick to market product updates.

When the current HDMI standard was finalized, Trinnov owners had updates pushed out within hours. As the Trinnov does it's magic in software, it has great advantages over processors that are chip based.

The 861 is a great beast, I own one, but as funds allow, it is going to be replaced.
