In Reply to: Re: FYI .. The Denon DVD-2900 is awsome. SACD & DVD-A are great and DVDs are rich & clear. posted by Jesper on April 30, 2003 at 12:49:11:
I could get maybe a Sony XA-777 ES for SACDs and a Denon DVD-3800 for DVD-Audio. That way I could have both the best SACD and DVD-Audio sound. Now what would you recommend for video (the 777 has no video output and the 3800 has had problems in that area).But with the 2900 I've got it all. I've been able to clear the clutter from my living room and enjoy the likes of Beethoven, Shostakovich, Schnittke, and lots of Mahler as I've never heard them on a sound system before.
Since I last posted I've been imersed in beautiful music. What I now have is the best, but certainly not the most expensive, sound I've heard in any living room anywhere. It fills this very large room with exceptional sound and does it with less than $11,000 (list value new) in equipment (includes the player, the pre-amp/processor, the amp, and all the speakers).
I now have a very balanced system. To upgrade anything would mean I'd have to upgrade everything (I'm presuming you know what I mean by that).
