It doesn't look as if Rio is offering the Rio Receiver or Rio Central anymore, Is this correct? Did the DNNA Escient brand www.escient.com take over this market?

Escient are in a different market - typically custom multi-room installs.

We haven't got replacements for the Receiver and Central yet as we've been concentrating on portables, which are bread and butter products right now.

I remember the primary reason TechTV gave the best of CES award to the Fireball over the Central was the multi room linking. Someone aparently didn't tell them the Central linked to the much cheeper Receiver.
