From what I can tell here is the 7300 is the newer model.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
The 7300 has Variable Cross-over Frequencies the 7200 does not.
-
are the variable crossover frequencies worth $150?
-
Most people set the cross over at 80 or 90Hz and forget about it. So if the cheaper model has this, then I'd say save the extra coinage for something else.
TonyDamn....8 lines...I've gotta put my sig on a diet now.... -
Airplay,
I say go for the 7300. From what I'm reading it has the new Dolby Digital and DTS formats and is also software upgradeable via a RS-232 port. The variable crossover is useful. I use 60 hz myself and is a good thing to experiment around with.
Software Upgradeable (RS-232) Yes
DTS ES 6.1 Discrete/5.1/Neo:6 (+DTS® 96/24)
Dolby Digital EX®
