while we are on the subject of semiconductor, I will chime in a little.Yes, gates are shrinking and metal 1 pitch continues to shrink below 200nm mark for 65nm node. But fact of life is except in digital processing, high end audio is about discrete parts and discrete parts take space, lots of it.
You can pack 7.1 into a small receivers like those in Good guys, but you can't even fit a volume control, a dedicate analog board, digital board, display board, separate power supply, dual mono, high storage caps, big transformer, etc (I think you get the point) into a small space.
As as high density as Altera chip is, Xilinx is leading!
