is it worth it?


i have a 2 channel all linn activ system with vinyl as my main, preference. currently dont have a cdp as i recently sold it to help fund upgrade of amps. been thinking that with the system i have, why not take advantage of it and use it for 2 channel video. i have NO desire for 5.1 at all. in my room right now there isnt even a tv. i want to get my feet wet, but by no means want to spend crazy...i saw a magnavox 32"lcd at homedepot, dont know model#, but its got 1368x 7 hundred and somethin..not sure...what if i got this and one of the oppo players...again, no goal for blue ray, hddvd, just plain old dvd movies and more than likely concerts. pls see my system and let me know if im wasting my time or if ive found a great way to get into video for under 1k for tv and player. thanks in advance everyone

Go get a 1.1 and let it downconvert all the MC to 2-channel. It suuuuure sounds good! :)

See you over on Tropica!

Seriously however - I say go for it.
Go for it there are lots of great music DVDs and concerts on Netflix. Is this for daytime or nighttime viewing? If you can control ambient light get a projector and Oppo. Paint the wall light grey, eggshell finish. At the small side of the equation you'll easily get a 7 x 4 foot picture for 1,100. You'll get hooked and upgrade.
Jim, 1.1 on order
Psyche! the beauty of this is with my recent amp upgrade, im now sellingmy rel sub, so the money from there can be used here..no out of pocket excense..thankful for agon and second hand buyers such as myself which allow many of us to participate in this hobby at a higher level than we could afford in many cases.
jaf - I do two channel video - it's great

get an upsampling dvd player
1080i units are selling inexpensively these days and really bring video home

also why would 5.1 or 7.1 be better?
