    Marantz SR5300 release date?

    Anyone know when Marantz are releasing their *300 receivers in North America, specifically the 5300? I know they're available in the UK. I sent an e-mail to Marantz America but no response yet. Cheers, Iain

    Anyone recommend $300 DVD player to go with this ...?

My HT room is about 21' by 13', but the TV has to go on...

    Recommend $4k HT: TV, Spkrs, Rcvr, DVD
