check out the denon DHT-700DV


at the crutchfield site. The amps are 35 watts/5 channels @ 10%THD into 6 ohms. Sub is self powered at 50 watts, again 10%THD. But when you read the detailed specs, it does lots of neat stuff...front speakers "size" can be specified, varied "soundfields", aspect ratios, etc. All I want to do is watch movies once in a while. I'll bet the amps are pretty "clean" at lower wattages anyway. BUT 10% THD. For $1K? But that does includes the DVD player builtin, with MP3 capabilities too. It was "neat", but not enough power above where I am now to make much difference(and who needs another set of 5 inch high "monitors"). But as a "turn key" HT solution, pretty attractive. Sam
