I guess with audio/video-equipment it’s just like with computers: when you upgrade this bit, you end up upgrading that bit too, and sooner than you know it: all of it has undergone major surgery. I told you I bought a new tv and a BluRay-player to go with it. My “old” AV-receiver is a decent one (NAD T753), but it doesn’t play the new HD-audio formats found on BluRay. So I looked around, checked my bankaccount, and now I have an Onkyo TX-SR606. Plays Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio like a charm. And it’s much easier to setup and control than the NAD receiver is.
Tomorrow I have a listening session with a friend. He has exceptional ears (and Martin Logan electrostats to go with it), so we’ll see what he thinks of the system I now have.
