HT Components-would appreciate thoughts

So far so good looks like to me. Is the DVD/CD the only thing outstanding? What's the budget on the pieces MIA? Not an expert on the SP1 (or anything else either) but its agood one for sure. You already have it? Don't know if it has multi-region function.

The hotrod DVD/CD player is of course the Camelot Roundtable (assuming the Ayre is out of the question) see camelottech website which will steer you to a home theater review site containing a DVD player shootout where this unit smunched everything in sight. Also try the Theta models David and Carmen. Arcam has a reasonable unit with excellent performance. Pioneer and Sony have fairly nice units as well. I am sort of reluctnant to say anything further w/o some more info. Is SACD an issue? assuming you have the SP1, do you also need a DVD/CDP that does SACD? Does the SP1 have 5.1 inputs for the SACD? If so, that changes everything. Need just a little more.

Thanks for reply. I own the Linn Keilidhs right now, but not the SP-1.The SP-1 does allow remote triggering (12v) + it has an RS-232 out + a phone jack to connect to an infrared device. I'm no multiroom expert. I'm considering purchase of the active 20s used in the $750 range....it let's me get some high quality rear channel sound without the expense of speakers+amplification.SACD is not an issue currently.I beleive the SP-1 can handle 5.1 SACD inputs. DVD/CDP that could handle SACD would be ideal.Thanks for your post.

Chstob; I also read that review. made me want to go right out and get a Camelot. Does anyone here own one? Are they really THAT GOOD? I am ready to upgrade to a progressive scan DVD player for my Mitsubishi HDTV. Mike: System looks good. what will you use as a Viewer for your DVD player?

Mike:

Thumbs up. So far, your system looks great. No complaints here, that's for sure.

Now, as for your DVD/CD Player, you stated that you wanted SACD capability as well, right?? Well in this case, what budget are you REALLY working with?? Because so far, the only "affordable" DVD/CD Player that I know of is the Sony DVP-S9000ES ($1,500.00 MSRP), and I don't know if this is enough player to meet your needs or not. But, if I find anymore players to suggest to you, I'll let you know.

And now that you have most of your home theater in place, I am with "Snooker14" when I ask you THIS question. If you have a DVD Player in place and all, what I would like to know is what kind of display will you be using with your DVD Player (Direct-View?? Front Projector?? RPTV?? Wall Mount Plasma?? And what size will your display be)?? I see you don't have a display of any type listed in your system configuration listed above.
