Goal: Blu-Ray (HDMI) upgrade
My current office system:
65" Toshiba DLP 1080p
Front L/R: Michaura M665 towers (like M60s)
Center: VP 150
Surrounds: Mission 77DS
Subwoofer: Dahlquist PDQ1500
Processor: Sony TA E9000ES with 2.01 firmware upgrade
Amplifier: Anthem PVA 5
DVD Player: Sony DVP S7000
The Sony TA E9000ES processor is wonderful when it comes to sound quality from DVDs or CDs.
Same for the DVP S7000, great sound from DVDs and CDs but no DTS, or SACD, and since it’s a Sony, no DVD Audio.
So the Sony TA E9000ES and the DVP S7000 DVD are 480p limited and player have to go.
I’m thinking of the Integra DHC 40.1 processor and an Oppo Blu-Ray BDP 80 or 83.
I want to try the Dolby IIz with a pair of Michaura M55s horizontally positioned high on the wall above the front towers.
Anyway, the Integra DHC 40.1 can be had for a bit over $1,000 (MSRP $1,200), the Marantz is more, the new Emotiva less, any other reasonably priced processors out there?
All ideas welcome.
