I have the F85 and I agree that the video processing and hardware are identical between the F65 and the F85. The only difference is the F85 adds DVD-Audio and on-board Dolby Digital and DTS processing. If you want those features, go for it. The F85 is impressive for the price point. A...

JohnSer, Looks like I'm a little late. But to answer your questions anyway; yes, I am running the PA 2000 in bridged mode 2 x 100W and no, I am not driving 4 ohm speakers. I am currently looking at getting some more efficient speakers than I have now. Klipsch probably. The RF-5 and RF-7...

Anyone?

Just thought I'd tap the knowledge of the forum. I recently purchased the F85 and I noticed after some A/B comparisons that the sound processed from the dvd player is superior to the sound processed by my receiver. It isn't as noticable playing DD DVDs but with CDs it was very noticeable. The...

Just picked up a F85 in black. If any of you are in southern California, the Panasonic Store in Costa Mesa carries them. FYI...

I can attest to the PA 2000. I don't think another amp can touch it for the price (~$200). I'm was in a similar situation. I have a HK AVR45 (4 years old) that puts out 65W X 2 in stereo. After hooking up the PA2000 to power the mains, the clarity and presence improved significantly...

Mike, Go with all the power you can afford or willing to spend; not because you listen at high volumes, but for musical dynamics. You need lots of reserve power to replicate dynamics such as orchestra hits, explosions, etc. If you listen mainly to HT, you may not notice it much. But if you...

I think the simple fact is that digital amps are a MATURING technology. So far I haven't seen any reviews that rank a digital amp above an analog amp. Maybe some time in the future (say 5 years?), digital amps will be equal or better than their analog counterparts. I saw a link to a review of...

Just thought I'd follow up. I received the PA 2000 today and hooked it up. WOW! The clarity and detail it brought out of my speakers were surprising. Now I have a decent music system using satellite speakers (and sub of course)! Now I'm all set until I feel the need to upgrade to 6.1 or...

Hi Clark, I took that deal on the PA 2000. I compared the specs on the Parasound and the PA 2000. To me, it looks like the HK is the way to go. HK vs. Parasound: 45 amps vs. 25 amps; 100 watts vs. 75 watts. Higher current, higher wattage, I was sold. I do think the Parasound has an advantage...

Thanks for the tip! I picked up the HK PA 2000 amplifier to boost my l/r mains on my HK AVR 45. Great deal!
