Hello.
I currently have a 5.1 Surround setup with the Sony TA-E9000ES Pre-Amp TA-N9000ES Amplifier. I'd like to go DD-EX, DTS-ES, and the other new formats. The 9000ES isn't capable.
I originally was going to upgrade to the Outlaw 950 with the Outlaw 770 amplifier, but they just bonered my order (which includes me overnighting a payment, them saying, oh, we don't take that form of payment, so we stuck the check you sent in snail mail back to you) after they told me to send a check. So I'm a little frustrated, and I have to wait for this piece of paper to float back from NH to KS.
So now, I'm wandering around the web looking for other options because of this stellar goof of customer service. I now have more time to think about this and I've been looking around.
Right now, I've found the Denon 4802, and the forthcoming Sony 7ES Receiver. Apparently there isn't much in the way of seperates in my $2600 price range.
Anyone have any dates on the 7ES receiver? The 9000ES has done well the last 3 years but I want SACD 5.1 inputs, and I'd like Component Video switching as well.
Any other models I should be looking at?
Thanks
Tom
