Seen Silent Hill 3-4 times and the Sirens get me every time! The Church scene showdown is horrifically satisfying.

1. The Rock - Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery 2. The Green Mile - Tom Hanks and the Big Guy, Michael Clarke Duncan (I like prison movies :D) 3. Drumline - Marching band choreography alone is worthwhile 4. Apocalypto - Visually stunning and jungle raw 5. The 13th Warrior - Antonio Banderas...

I'll volunteer to look after your backup at my house until you need it!:D

Bob, price has me hesitating as well. I received an e-mail from the Canadian distributor (A/V Solutions, Toronto) and they're retailing the Oppo for $599. With taxes (5% GST and 8% PST), that's approx. $675. I can pick it up locally to avoid shipping costs of another $18-20. That's close to...

Thanks Bill. Got my e-mail from Solutions A/V here in Toronto offering the BDP-83 for $599 which will run me $675 with taxes (ouch!). I'm thinking about it really hard. I'm torn whether it will be worth it to drop that kind of coin. Any advice truly appreciated!

Wow, what a set-up! This guy really wanted to be drowned in sound! The budget for this reno must of been mind blowing...and to think he's not done by the sounds of it. I need to find a ride to Cleveland:)

Great comments so far. Unless you really need 8 ch. capabilities, the Denon 1909 will serve your needs as well as any other. I'm quite happy with the 789 version (similar to the 1909) I bought mine 2 months ago. Keep in mind, set-up can be a hassle for anyone not familiar with Denon products...

Plus +1 for the OPPO Bluray player. I'm guessing it should be available (End of May/ early June) when you are ready to take the plunge...

You may want to check out the Roku Soundbridge as well. It will stream internet radio as well as play your PC or MAC music files when connected to your home theatre system. Go here: http://www.roku.com/default.aspx

Finished vacuuming and dusting the plants on my day off this morning:) Great to here that the Beta group is really liking the early BDP-83 players. I'm betting this baby will be released before the end of May judging by the comments here and from the OPPO EAP's. I'm starting to count my...

Companies like Denon and others charge a King's ransom knowing they will gain a small but loyal buying segment that will demand the best and are willing to pay for it. On the other hand, I do hope OPPO realizes that audiophiles that visit this site and others are a fraction of the market they...

DaleAV, just out of curiosity, what is 'at cost' for a panasonic since you said you work for them. I used to work in a high-end clothing store many moons ago and mark-up on products would go as high as 400%...

will do! Read some of the 1st wave EAP's and only saw 1 comment from the 2nd wave last week so I'm looking forward for more.

Fellow Audiophiles, it's been a month now and I'm getting impatient!! Any news? I have been scouring the OPPO site as well as others and all is dead quiet! Starting to think the Pio 51FD will do the job (at $399)....kind of like the drunk sailor who thinks the last ugly broad in the joint...

If the OPPO is more than $499, I may have to pass and pick up the Pio 51FD since I have seen it on sale for $399. $100 may not seem like alot but, like most, I have limited resources. The question is - is the Pio equivalent to the new Oppo at that price or is it wishful thinking just to save a...

Monoprice remains my 1st choice too. I recently ordered a $125 worth of cables and plugs and it easily would have cost me 3-4 times for the cheapest equivalent at the local BB or FS!

I have owned 4 and personally bought the last 2 - a Denon 3300 and, recently , the Denon AV 789. Expert (read experienced and up-to-date) reviews help in terms of pro's and cons with some user input. I go to all the usual channels (i.e. cnet, epinions, hometheatre, etc.) to get a feel for...
