I hang out on the vintage, tube and High efficiency forums a bit and get really good information that has helped me on my audio journey. I decided to upgrade my in-a-box Phillips surround system so I thought I would check out this forum. Thanks for those who gave me some input on receivers at my previous first posting. So what is up with the relentless postings about BD vs HD? I realize it is a pretty important battle for the companies involved and makes it difficult to decide which format to buy components for....BUT... is there a need for endless, blow by blow discussion? It makes it really hard to sort out the intersting and good information on this forum. Maybe, just a suggestion from a new lurker, it could have it's own forum for those that feel the need. Am I way out of bounds here? If so I apologize and will just go back to sifting through all of the postings.
