Seriously....Any of us that have bought high end gear over the years knows that whenever the next new item comes it can be a big drop in re-sale. Other than our need for latest and greatest, it does not result in a immediate drop in performance for said older piece.
I know the amps in my Denon AVR-5800 are still great even though it is selling for 10% of original price. No HDMI pretty much drops it from an AVR to primarily an amp. Still 170 Watts X 7 makes it a useful tool as I move stuff around.
Anyone who is "Stuck" with a Liquid Fire is more than welcome to send it to me....
