Yes but the HTM1D does for VIDEO enthusiasts that 2 ch. does for Audio enthusiasts. It completes the best possible sound playback for watching movies. Which is what WE want while watching our favorite gunshot, sci-fi, or car chase scenes. I heard the Wilson Watch Center and thought it sounded great. and yes if cost $9,000. It filled the room very well. I guess one day on A-gon or ebay of somewhere someone will upgrade there system and sell an HTM1D, Until then I'll be happy with my HTM2D. Did I mention Im willing to trade my Hot Tub only a few years old for an HTM1D....
