I recently took the plunge into HT and "adjusted" my audio system to a HT system. One of the reasons I didn't do it before was because I wasn't about to stick a television between my speakers. I tried this once and a big box with a piece of glass on it doesn't make for good listening (ended up in a secondary video system). So anyway, I just bought the Marantz DLP projector and in terms of the overall video experience, it totally blew me away. I compared it against various other DLP/LCD models and between the picture quality and features, decided that the extra money was worth it. Before I bought this projector, I had this tremendous soundstage with a tiny picture that just made the entire experience feel wrong. Now, it is simply sensational. Granted, I am exceedingly picky about my audio and the ability of my video projector to be totally black doesn't really phase me but I have been watching movies just about every night since I got the thing and have found great satisfaction in moving to the projector.
