    Best PQ dvd player

    I can't confirm this from specific experience, but I bet most people are going to tell you that the Pany 82 is better than those that you listed. Search for the recent Secrets review. According to them, the 82 is the best. By the way, I'm currently looking for exactly what you are, and am...

    DVD player dillema, wait or buy now

    Thanks. No need for DVDA or SACD, as this room will be only for playing DVD movies and watching HDTV.

    DVD player dillema, wait or buy now

    I am installing a complete HT room in the next 1-2 months. I already have most of the components including B&K ref 50, and planning on getting Marantz VPS2 projector. I need a DVD player. So, do I: 1) invest $1000 and get a Sony 999ES, Pioneer elite 47ai (each have the chroma bug) , Denon...

    DVD player recommendation, PLEASE HELP!

    Also, as I will be using a DLP projector (Marantz VPS2), I've heard it will be better to use the DVD in interlaced rather than progressive mode (let the projector do the rest). Is this correct? Also, I'm considering having the DVD player modified for DVI output.

    DVD player recommendation, PLEASE HELP!

    I have ordered or decided on most of my home theater setup. The only decision left is a DVD player. I will be using a B&K ref 50 with a Sherbourn 7/2100 amp, Marantz VPS2 projector and a 110" firehawk screen. I need DVD player suggestions. I have no interest in DVD-A, etc. (strictly...

    Anthem AVM 20 / MCA 50 / MCA20 combo?

    "There seems to be more B&K aficiandos here then there are Anthem." Not sure if I agree with this statement.

    Krell Showcase

    Any opinions on this new pre/pro? Seems to be priced between the Anthem/B&K/Aragon/Sunfire and the LexiconMC12/high-end Krell/etc. Any thoughts on home theater performance compared to the others?

    B&K ref50 vs Anthem AVM20

    Michael, How would you characterize the B&K "sound".

    B&K ref50 vs Anthem AVM20

    Good point. Can someone comment on sound quality. I have read in the past that some have preferred the sound quality of the Anthem AVM20 to the ref30, and would assume the ref30 should sound similar in character to the ref50. I don't remember the exact phrase used to describe the ref30 sound. It...

    B&K ref50 vs Anthem AVM20

    OK, to get things started...I read on another forum (AVS) that the notch filter is a nice option that the ref50 has that the Anthem does not.

    B&K ref50 vs Anthem AVM20

    I know the ref50 has only been out a few weeks, but does anyone have any comparisons or impressions on how these two compare. I wouldn't mind even theoretical advantages or disadvantages to start (based on specs). Any info would be helpful as I think I have narrowed it down to these to for a...

    B&K Ref50 Prepro

    Any other reviews? This unit has been out for a few weeks and I have only read one or two reviews. Certainly there are others out there with opinions or comparisons to other units (Rotel 1066, Anthem avm 20, Aragon Stage one, Sunfire TGIII, etc.).

    amp question: Sherbourn 7/2100 vs ...

    I have a question. The new Sherbourn 7/2100 seems like it will be a great amp. The 5/1500 has always received great reviews and seems very popular here. My question is: does the 7 toroidal transformers/7 mono blocks and heat sinks offer a distinct advantage over a similar 7 channel 200 watt amp...

    balanced audio outputs

    Can someone explain the importance of balanced audio outputs in a prepro? I know Anthem and Sunfire and Aragon have them. I know Outlaw does not.
