Pioneer DV 45A...Less than $500. Enjoy it while you struggle with the problem of what to do with the extra 2 or 3 grand in your pocket.
Dtf...Nine to hear a good word about Pioneer players. My first player, a DV-45A, is almost identical to the DV-47A with regard to audio.

I gather from other threads that most players offer only one subwoofer crossover frequency. That's the story with my recently acquired 3X cost Denon 2900. The Pioneer offers 40, 60 80, 100 Hz crossover options. In many functional areas the Pioneer is superior (and the sound aint bad either).
