The dvd is still among the worst in SQ that I own. The very worst is Audioslave Live In Cuba. However, it can be cranked. The music speaks for itself. They were so good, it overpowers the audio quality.
As far as my system, it has taken me about three or four years of fine tuning, calibration, placement, and decorative room acoustics.
I am considering replacing my Yamaha 1400 with a pre-pro. I am worried about SQ. I worked so hard with my Yamaha, I hate to have to start over. The Yamaha really works well.
I am also considering replacing my Adcom 7605 with a McIntosh MC 205. The only thing I am worried about here is my bank account.
