tx for all the advise guys! I ended up researching alot and have come to a conclusion about the sound thing. to make the story short i looked for something with pre outs.. so i got the onkyo 707. i was then going to go with an emotiva amp. but decided somehow that i would get some bass first. so i got the EP500! its a beatifull beast. i'll be getting the amp in a week or two then an oppo player. then thats it wheeeeew (god willing) :0),

been hanging out at the blue ray forums abit. helping with the axiom thread.. there are pics there of my stuff and others as well check it out.
