In Reply to: Onkyo, Denon, Mitsubishi.....good god help me!! (please) posted by 606 on May 13, 2001 at 03:05:43:
What are your ears & eyes telling you? Does the Mits look better than the Panasonic? Does the Denon sound better? TELLING you they are better is what the racers used to call bench racing (ie b.s.). In my mind a good source is first and foremost. Then worry about the electronics and speakers in that order. Speakers can only sound as good as the source and the electronics feeding them.

The pana is not out yet....I do agree with the principles you mentioned....
In that case, I would buy the TV that is the most reasonably priced given the features you want. In terms of the receiver, is the home theatre system all you have, or do you have a stereo as well?
Well, currently I have a fairly old system.....Consists of an older Onkyo pro-logic receiver with RCA Pre-outs only for the center and rear surrounds. I also have a Onkyo 6 disc carousel changer. A crappy RCA amplifier to run the center and surrounds. A newer but relatively cheap 27" Sharp TV. For speaker I currently have older Infinity reference towers in the front (they are the ones with the emit R tweeter but the surrounds have separated on both woofs). I have an inexpensive Polk center and some advent surrounds.I have come to the conclusion that I am going to replace the whole 9 yard and am budgeting around 5K.
