I am waiting for the Denon DBP 1611 to be released, and after speaking to Denon again think I should wait until a couple of mounts after its release to buy one. They said they are having to change manufacture after there original one went bust, I'm worried that they may have some teething problems and I do not want to be the one with the pain. Anyway this leaves me with no birthday present (I can see you all shedding tears for me) I was thinking about getting a pair of MA R270 HD, I really want some floor-standing speakers and these look very nice, and a bonus the wife likes them as well. I would have to use them with my Keffs until around January then I could buy a MA R250HD for the center and then hopefully keep my Keffs for the rear and keep my KUBE 1 for my sub. I don't want to upgrade my amp as I like the way the Sony performs well at the top of the scale. Dose this sound like a good plan and has anybody had any experience with these speakers? Thanks Dean
