Larry S: Thanks for your reponse.I agree completely that used is the way to go. I was thinking in terms of this years $2,500 machine that can be bought used for $1,500 versus year 2000's $5,000 machine (like your AVP-1) that can be bought for used for $1,500. They both do DD and DTS, the newer one one may have THX ultra and the other may have just plain jane THX. If the newer doesn't offer dedicated circuitry or real compatibilty for SACD / DVD-A should I sacrifice build quality for a later THX or 7 channels when I am having a hard enough time putting together 5 channels? Maybe the older one has more refined pro-logic circuitry, which will give me much more joy than insignificant enhancements found on the newer machine.
Basically, I like nice stuff. I have always preferred to buy higher quality and older before buying newer but lower quality. You can't compare the feel of a Sony ES or even a Denon to a Proceed. So is there anything found on a 2002 Sony ES or Denon that I am likely to really miss should I go with that Proceed, Classe or Lexicon from 2000.
