    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Mad Max Fury Road!

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    My dream home theater would completely disappear the moment the movie starts playing as I am totally engulfed in the sights before me and the sounds around me. And as the credits roll, it would gently remind me that there is a real world that still needs my attention now and then. The Denon...

    Receiver/Separates Considerations

    My current set consists of an older Pioneer Elite VSX-14TX receiver driving Mirage OM-7s, OM-C2, and OM-R2s. Because of the lack of multichannel analog inputs for SACD, I'm itching to upgrade.

    Zappa DVD- real?

    I still have a copy of Does Humor Belong in Music? on laserdisc. Pick it up while stationed in Japan. Fun concert, emphasis is on humor not many (if any) extended guitar solos if I recall. It's been a couple of years since I've played it.
