"DVD better than Blu-ray" WHAT THE HELL!?

Now, if I really want my mind notably blown by audio and visual imagery, I'd go see something like Michael Bay's Transformers at the local cinema on their digital screening system again (I'm there Day 1 for Revenge of the Fallen.) Gotta love having access to a Cinema that's been appointed the title of Norway's best cinema more than 10 times over the past 15 years.

Were you there for their premiere of "Siskel & Ebert: The Movie?"

For a second there I thought that Siskel & Ebert - The movie clip was showing how the audio was when I watched the opening for Star Wars - Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.

Anyway, Onkyo? I've actually never been much of an audio perve, but I recently upgraded my home system. Going from an old and mighty Tandberg that's been pushing 4 speaker stereo audio for more years than I think most board members here have made vocal sounds of their own. I was doing a lot of digging around and it actually stood between an Onkyo (forgot the model number) and a Pioneer (VSX-1017AV).

Not sure what the NA equivalent is of that Pioneer model, but the brand itself is the only one I've used throughout the years that's had solid performance and quality consistently. Too bad they've halted TV manufacturing; their Elite series was the best on the market.

I picked up a TX-SR606. Mid-range and packs a lot of features for the price, including on-board DTS MA and Dolby TrueHD decoders and it's HDMI 1.3 compatible. It can receive multi-channel PCM basically.

I think it has 4 HDMI inputs, which is overkill for me but convenient in the long run. Still pushing 5.1 because of the lack of space and my speakers were fine to begin with; I can actually appreciate them now with a better receiver.
