    Geoff, My dealer expects late April/early May and not a lot of initial wiggle room on the MSRP. I suspect he'd have given me a deal on one if they were already out but I don't want to wait that long and, to tell the truth, I'm a little gunshy at this point. As I said earlier, I don't want to...

    My Arcam AVR200 just blew up, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

    Last Monday, my dealer received my AVR200 via UPS and I picked it up that evening. The following afternoon, I hooked everything up (checked and re-checked--this is the 10th home cinema system I've hooked up), turned on the AVR200, and within 3 seconds, a "POP" and no display. The green power...
