I still think the Denon 2900 is the perfect mix of excellent PQ and above average audio quality for all sources it plays. The best PQ so far for film sources on an ED or HDTV. It's been quieter than all the flash about DVI and HDMI and upconversion. Once you study the pic you realize it has so much fine detail and smoothness it's truly amazing. And none of those nasty MPEG or de-interlacing artifacts for film. It's not quite so perfect for video sources, but I can handle it for Monster's Inc and TV shows on DVD, they usually look like crap anyway.
