I recently picked up a Denon DVD-2200 from my local Good Guys. This will be replacing my Pany RP-91 (already sold!).
My 2200 is still sealed (though I might open her up here today) and I'm contemplating upgrading to the 2900 already.
I can get the Denon DVD-2900 for around $975 (w/ tax) because Good Guys is running a 10% off deal right now...or at least they were when I purchased the 2200. The 2200 cost me $587.51 (w/ tax) fter the 10% off deal.
I like the bigger footprint of the 2900 vs. the 2200.
They both play DVD-A/SACD - and that is very important to me, as I want to build-up my music library a little more in 2004 with multi-channel audio in both formats.
My question: What would you do? Is the 2900 that much better of a player than the 2200? Mt set (Sony 57HW40) is ISF calibrated (thanks to one Gregg Loewen!), so reference video is fairly important to me. However, money is also, as I'm in the military and we sure don't make too awful much :frowning:
I know that I'll have to decide in the end (2200 or 2900) but I thought that perhaps maybe somebody else here on the forum had contemplated this issue as well.
Thanks for any feedback and suggestions...
