the three things in life that are guaranteed are death, taxes and the fact that as soon as you commit to an AVR upgrade, the industry will come out with new features and standards that will 'obsolete' your equipment.
I suggest following these rules:
1. Never count on a release date for some feature. They always slip considerably.
2. Don't worry about stuff coming in the future. Upgrade when your current system doesn't meet your needs with something that does.
3. Once upgraded, stop looking at the new stuff. It generally is a lot more hype than a real improvement. Kind of like that special extended edition of the film that adds 23 seconds of new material.
4. Never buy the first generation of a major new feature. They never get it right.
It will cost a bloody fortune to keep upgrading for incremental improvements.
