Audyssey has stated that one fear of marketing 10.2 systems will be that ironically quality might be decreased instead of increased. This is because marketers will push to keep prices relatively the same and to do that with four additional speakers and two subwoofers will almost certainly cost quality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.audioholics.com/education/surround-sound/audyssey-dsx-10.2/part-two-the-10-2-room |title=Part Two - The 10.2 Room β Reviews and News from |publisher=Audioholics |access-date=2012-11-09}}</ref>
