Best DVD Player $1000-$2000
Go with the Denon 5900 or the 9000 --- all the Denon's that use the Silicon Image 504 chip for progressive scan are first rate --- both used prices are withing your range and both are great machines - top notch.

Go to ecoustics.com to peruse reviews on both audio and video equipment. Type in the model # in the search and you're good to go.I would get a used Denon DVD player with Progressive Scan (maybe the 2800 MK II) -- they almost all use the Silicon Im...

Power - what is most important?Here's an idea for self-empowerment:1. Go buy a book2. Read the book3. Re-read the book 
DVD player recomendations
Any Denon player that uses the Silicon Image chip -- the video quality issuperb and the audio is also good. The Denon's always kick tail on the Home Theater DVD shootout.

Need a smaller, efficient floorstander
Source Technology 8.2DX --- its 36 x 9 x 11 excellent fit n' finish and it sounds glorious -- I purchased it over the Von Schweikert VR2 - you didn't give a price range - its $2500. The speaker is so new the picture and specs are not on their webs...

2ch HT spkr: Aerial 7B; Dyn S3.4; or Solil 6.3?
I've only heard the AA 7b's and without question they are an excellent speaker and if you decide to go HT they would be a great foundation to a five channel setup. They do need a bit of power to make them shine - there is a 8b currently on Audiogo... 
McIntosh C 352 vs. Bel Canto evo
I never heard the Mac but owned the Bel Canto 200.2 with Von Schweikert Vr4 Gen III's and it was the best sound I've had so far. The new Bel Canto eVo2 is supposed to be more powerful. I can't say enough good things about the Bel Canto people - th... 
Von Schweikert VR2
Let's see, a Bel Canto digital amp with Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III speakers, --- pay no attention to me I guess I don't have the kind of system to resove the differences cables can make. Or maybe I'm one of those people who think 99% of us couldn'... 
Von Schweikert VR2
Go to Radio Shack and buy the best speaker cable they offer and call it a day - almost all the speaker cables and interconnects in this industry are overpriced and the biggest rip-off going. Nine out of ten, perhaps ten out of ten people couldn't ... 
Active vs. Passive ?
I believe PMC active speakers are using Bryston amps - I believe Paradigm active speakers were also using Bryston amps - as I understand it. What amps are Meridian active or ATC active speakers using? I bet if you took a stupidly expensive solid s... 
Active vs. Passive ?
I currently own passive but I think the future is with active speakers - I've heard the Tannoy active speakers and they sounded quite good - almost all pro studio monitors use active speakers, and as consumers, there are quite a few to choose from... 
Best speaker between 15K-35K
I would consider the Von Schweikert Vr 5 or Vr 7 --- I would also seriously consider Aerial Acoustics Model 9. Personally, depending on the size of your room, I don't believe you need to spend 20k on speakers to achieve the performance level you s... 
Von Schweikert VR-1 & VRS-1 or VR-2?
I recently emailed back and forth with an audio reviewer who heard the VR1 and the VR2 -- he told me the audio dealer he was listening to both speakers with said his customers prefer the VR1 monitors combined with the VR1 subwoofer. I found that q...
