    Logic 7 on H/K 8000 a possible oversight (mistake) ?

    I was just reading through the avr8000 manual and it states in NUMEROUS sections that the 8000 doesnt do logic 7 on digital sources. How could they have made that many mistakes in the manual ? I have a theory that maybe H/K engineers didnt realize that logic 7 could be used on digital sources...

    Which is most important for great two-channel, Pre-amp or Dac ?

    I was thinking about what a stereo pre-amp should do, some people say it should do nothing but control the volume. My question then would be why do people pay 2,000~and up for good stereo pre-amps? do they want the pre-amp to CHANGE the sound. The second part of my question is what would be...

    Why not bi-amp towers with samsom amp (or any pro-amp) ?

    What would be the reason why a person couldn't bi-amp their tower speakers with a samson sub amp(or any other pro amp) ? They have volume controls so gain isn't a problem plus they would do a kick-ass job controling your woofers in your towers. I haven't seen anybody doing this therefore I'm...
