I've not bought from them before, but they are liked in avsforums pretty
well.
And the war is really heating up. First Tosh fires wth a $299, some
places had them as low as $240, then Crutchfield has this deal.
Now Sony fires a shot. The new BDP-S300 is $499 and I've seen pre-order
sites at much less than that. Then Amazon has a BluRay disc special.
Buy 2 get one more free from a list. Not really A-list movies, but
decent ones anyway.
I didn't wait, mine is on its way, supposed to be here on Thursday.
I've got to go get one BR movie that has a 7-channel sound (LPCM) so I
can test this HarmanKardon AVR247 I have to see that it will indeed deal
with 7-channel properly. If not, then either the Sony DG910 or Yamaha
RX-V661 will replace it.
Feel free to ping or even email. Can't promise to always answer, but
usually it isn't a problem unless I'm out of town with limited net
access.
