Why on earth would you get a PS3 and a Samsung BD-P1400? Do you need two BD players?

Well I already own the PS3. I'm going to use that just for gaming.
The other BD-P1400 for movies

I think you could get a lot better performance for the money with SVS or HSU for your subwoofers.

Have you auditioned the BP7000SC? Your thoughts? What did you audition them against?

I already bought the DefTech Stuff, I got almost 50% off retail.
I think I paid $750 buck on each SuperCube Reference sub.

I have not heard the BP7000SC yet, I sold my BP7001SC and upgraded to the DADDY. I'm assuming they will sound better than my 7001's

that's not a bad price at all if you had space/aesthetic restrictions.

otherwise you could have had a killer 1500 dollar sub or two great 750 dollar subs from other brands.

The PS3 is a kick a** BR player, I would save your money and upgrade your receiver to a an 805,875 etc.

Just my 2 cents, Enjoy your new system, should be awesome.

If that's the case then I would get the Samsung BD-UP5000 which will play both the PS3 and HD DVD formats. It's a nice hedge against who eventually will win the format war....

 

[ParadigmDawg]

That is silly and a waste of money.

I like everything else though.

Why would I want to upgrade to the Onkyo 805 or 875?

And the reason I want the Samsung and the Toshiba is so I can have the DTS Master Audio fully decoded in all available channels. I heard the new samsung will only decode the DTS MA in 2 channels only!

There is no reason don't let people make you second guess your choices. Since you have an external amp don't bother with the higher end Onkyos (this is just like you second guessing your amp ). Save that money for acoustic treatments - I promise, you will need them for maximum fidelity possible with your speakers. After all Floyd Toole didn't dedicate years researching loudspeaker-room interaction cause it doesn't exist.

 

[David Gaudreau]

Yeah thanks AVA,
I know my choices are solid!

That looks like a great Christmas present!

I wish Def Tech dealers offered upgrade options--- like trade in your old Def Tech gears for credit towards the new ones!

No doubt, that would be awesome. I have some stuff I would like to upgrade myself, but I have no extra money in my HT account. My next purchase will be a 73" Mits. DLP.

How do you like that Emotiva IPS-1? I just bought mine and waiting for it to arrive. My HT room wont be finished until Feb, so i wont be able to test until then. Will it drive all my deftech gear well??

That 73" Mitsubishi DLP will be so sweet!

Yeah, I think that 73" MIT will be my next purchase too, which will be next Christmas. My HT Piggy Bank is seriously in the Reds.
