I was originally considering a pairing such as Denon's AVR-2805, with a
Denon DVD-2910 player (for CD and DVD-A playback only - as I have an
alternative video source).

Immediate reaction - I never saw the name Denon on anything in the least bit
crappy...

I did, the POA 6600 monoblocs. Got rave reviews so I tried them
against my Audiolab. Shoulda been called the POS 6600......

wots this, an amp that is not a transparent wire with gain? Goodness me!

Common enough, lots of trash around at all prices! Indeed, as prices
get stratospheric, that seems to be where you find the *real*
trash............................

I put my own money on a Pioneer 'universal' player, but it could
easily have been a Denon.

but Denon don't make universal players as cheap as Pioneer do (the last time I
checked, anyway)

True, but I admit that I was originally looking at the 868i rather
than the 575! However, common sense prevailed, since I don't yet have
a full-blown HC with 3-chip DLP projector, so I doubted that the
difference would be visible. I *definitely* doubt that the difference
would be *audible* in any system.
