KC- My main viewing for HD will be sporting events. Otherwise it'll be regular DVDs and the occasional movie on cable. This is not in the den where I'll watch news and the kids watch cartoons. The Sony projector I mentioned boasts a 6000:1 contrast, which is one of the reasons I was attracted to it. It's apparently not the brightest projector, but I'll have total light control. Whaddya think?

As far as the NAD: I looked at that line initially, and am even still considering separates. What's turned me off of NAD at this point is that MANY of the personal reviews suggest that there is often problems with their products. Yeah they're great when they work, but it seems like SO many complaints about NAD products not functioning properly. Plus, I get the impression that NAD is geared more towards music than HT. Is that correct? And does it have all the features the Denon 3805 does?

Thanks
