Thank you for the info, and your time. After all of the reading and talking to members here, have decided to order a 2900. Since Parasound is talking about a long delayed player, and till players are out and , and less confusion about what to buy, decided to go a less expenive way for now. The Denon is to replace the Sony mega plaeyrs, as I'm trying to get a better and faster way to access CD's/DVD's, the disadvantage to the mega units is the menu system for finding and loading discs. So since they are are only units out of the new system that are sort of the weakest link now, seems the 2900 for the price will be a good solution, and should have no less and may be some improvemnt in audio and video, plus regain same space in the cabinet.
The 2900 should arrive tomorrow, and the Halo's this evening, so will be a long night, but hope to have the sound system working before going to bed.
