Congrats Ed. LOUD AND CLEAR FINALLY !! Good for you. I noticed a better sound quality also when I bought my Denon dvd 1920. My 1920 has dual burr brown 24 bit audio DACs. When I hooked up via digital coax it sounded much better than via analog to my HK av635. I prefer the digital modes over the analog. The dolby 2x mode and the HK logic 7 on my receiver sound beautiful with the Denon. I get a full robust sound. I recently purchased new a pair of Paradigm Phantom v3's for my rears to replace my AR m1's for 349 bucks from a local authorized paradigm dealer. (very cheap could not pass it up). The Paradigms are a "tower speaker". These babies sound awesome. My systems sound clarity is as pure as I'm going to get it for my money. LOUD AND CLEAR FINALLY. ED if you ever get the time you need to go listen to some Paradigm speakers at your nearest dealer. You will absolutely love them. Athenas are also very good.
