With the help of WHSV and after testing I have purchased the following:
SONY 5400ES AV Amp
B&W 684, HTM-62, M-1s for rear, and ASW610XP
I have ordered a SONY 5000ES Blu Ray player. I live in South Africa and Sony have ordered from Australia only 20 x Sony 5000 Blu Ray players. The player was meant to have arrived already 2 weeks ago. Despite numerous attempts, I am unable to clarify the exact arrival date of the 5000. It has subsequently come to my attention that the Oppo Blu Ray player is available (or will be available imminently) in SA. My obvious question is whether to cancel my order for the Sony and purchase the Oppo. In terms of price, I would be paying the equivalent of 1160 pounds for the 5000 and 830 pounds (after modifications for universal play) for the Oppo. Thanks for all your help.
