Just to play the devil dancing on your shoulder: the new Denon 2900, retailing at a mere $850-1000, is widely hailed as the dream machine of the moment. See, for example, http://audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/DenonDVD-2900-reviewp1.html. So it's a BIT more expensive than the 2200. What's an extra $300 where fully adjustable bass management is at stake? Heh heh heh heh...(Vincent Price laugh).
