Ray,
I called around, and a few local retailers appear to have the 2900 in stock. I'm going to try to audition the 2900/2910 tomorrow if possible; however, based on my reading in avsforum, and the secrets shootout, I'm almost inclined towards the 2900.

One concern remains. I believe the 2900 has bass management and adjustable delay for DVD audio, but only bass management for SACD ... correct? I believe the 2910 is no different, and only the 3910 allows adjustable delays for the SACD format. Would you confirm if this is correct.

Thanks again Ray.
