I want to upgrade because new bling is always nice ! This would also allow me to explore the Atmos format. Marantz could move upstairs to the computer/record listening room.

huh ? that wasn't hard--had it within a handful of guesses---69 is the cube root.

OMG!! The sound was breathtaking. yes not bass laden all the way thru like some movies can be---but an agressive mix the entire way through. Much better than when I saw in the cinema. Yes, I will say for me it is reference. The Batman Begins disc a lot of folks like--well I'm just the...

Yippee--I'm one of the lucky ones. I bought a single disc dition at Walmart the other day and then discovered -oh damn-that's not what I wanted--I wanted the deluxe set. When wifey returned it for me they wanted to just exchange it--lucily pukemart wa sout of widescreen editions and had no...

I just got a Sony combi CD/DVD/SACD player from one call mainly because the updated Philips model I tried ordering was only coming soon--that turned out to be April 04--I'll be long into an Iraq tour by then. The price was the same as the Philips. A Dylan SACD sampler was thrown it; it...

No, I know some of the mags have mentioned the Samsung. I've picked up a Philips DVDR80 for around 400 from OneCall. So far it is very nice. Some issue with the built in EPG--guide plus--the channel lineups don't match and when I manually edit the channels it lasts for a day then the next...

Pat I just was delivered a Kenwood military model of the 7080, the X9070D today. All I can say is wow. This is the same as the 7070 but with the fancy shmancy "Kameleon" Kenwood labeled remote which is marketed by Universal/One 4 All in the rest of the world and RadioShack here in the states...

David DC, The manufacturer is not asking that price from the wholesaler or distributor--just suggesting it--usually known as MSRP-manufacturer's suggested RETAIL price. The actual price the retailer pays is X % lower.

For just 50 bucks more find someone you know in the military and have them go to the post exchange and get you a slammin' Klipsch.

Yup the 38310 makes DVDs real purty---no HDTV for me yet. The first 38310 I got I managed to fry but RCA replaced. I use a surge protector now!

I agree Scott; I picked up the remote this past summer at CC. It is VASTLY better and more appealing than any of the universal remotes that I've experienced using that came with receivers- and even better than a Fox touch screen I had (looked like today's Rotel touchscreens). This one is a...

Thanks for the warning about Journey. I'm going to have to listen for what other people say before I buy music DVDs. Take Cheap Trick's Silver. Not only was the video shot with less than stellar cameras causing the video to suck, but the audio (DD) ain't that great either.

Well--I am glad I DID NOT BUY that JVC 7 disc DVD player. It's pretty damned hard even fitting in time to watch 1 or 2 movies let alone 7. When will the industry wake up? Many of us will not opt to buy just because of insanity such as this latest piece of crap idea from Universal. Take...

John H, I too live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath--an upstairs apt and have a Klipsch. The Infinity died sometime ago and I just couldn't wait for the pennies to get the SVS. The very first nite the neighbors downstairs complained wondering what the h was going on. It was 130 AM and was the pod...

Jeff, Has a unit been forwarded to any of the major a/v mags for review. This product truly sounds like it may be outstanding and I eagerly await the opinions. Hopefully this will be a 5 :star: product.
