how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...?

my gear is pretty old school but looks and sounds stellar...theta casanova, lexicon rt-10, kell fpb600c, krell kav 3250, wilson wp7's and watch center/surrounds assorted great cables mostly mit, and screen is runco pl50-hdx with vivix proc...so it seems the new technology has plateaued and it may be time to test the bluray waters...

i am reluctant to get away from my 5.1 standard dolby dig/dts world but i am very curious about the new hd formats. what are some cheap (ha ha) ways to test the waters with the stuff i have?

first post here but have been lurking and really respect some of the minds that type here...

If you can go all HDMI its a simple 1 wire connection but you can do HDMI straight to Pro (and sometimes even Component video) and run Multi channel RCA connections from a Blu Ray with internal decoder and get same results.
Just more wires, hassle and remotes is all.

I own a Projector and the Lexicon RT10, while I dont have Blu Ray I do have HDDVD and I can tell you in my case the RT10 still was about equal enough to HDDVD to really be surprised, its an awesome DVD unit.
I only have a 720P Projector so maybe I cant see everything 1080P has to offer but all the same the Lexicon looks awesome still. I intend to go Blu shortly and do Multii RCA with a Blu player that has internal decoder because like you my Pro (Rotel 1068) isnt HDMI (Projector is though)
BTW you have a nice set-up! And welcome to the 'gon!

Why cant it pass the signal from an internal Blu Ray decoder?
