I know I said 179.00 to 500.00 but thanks to PSONICS advise I my have changed my mind and have opened the wallet a little more and might go to the pioneer elite 45a or even more the denon dvd 2900. Before I spend 500 or so on the Pioneer or 820.00 on the denon is there any other models I should consider? Because right now after reading reviews I'm about to drain $800.00 out of my $3000.00 savings that I was going to pay of my $3000.00 Mitsubishi ws-55613 T.V. that I bought at good guys on a one year no interest loan" got t.v in october" , let alone blow my wife mind when she thinks a $ 100.00 p.s. player will do! So if I get divorced, I blame Audio Review!
