I don't have time to calculate my own pain at not being able to afford it anyway...

[EJ1]

haha, the video components seem to be popular. Gimpy Ric, are you suggesting you'd run a 12.2 setup?

 

[Gimpy Ric]

No I would run 7.2 with a full size center behind the screen. Those Denon seperates are pricey so we would have to discuss things with the Salk People about the dipoles, or more floorstanders for extra music channels although I prefer my music 2 channel, but playing with that Denon pre/pro would be fun .

I know ZERO about projectors, so I just "borrowed" some ideas .
