Upgrading system - need help please

[admin_exported]

Hi,

New to the forums so please be nice.

I am looking to go HD and as such am a little confused as to what things to go for. I currently have:

[*]Hitachi PDP3000
[*]Denon 3803
[*]Pioneer 868ais
[*]Totem Arros x 2 with dreamcatcher sub, center and compacts x2
[*]Mirage x2 for rear surrounds (can't recall the name of the speakers - but they look like a fencer's mask).
I am looking to upgrade everything bar the speakers (so if anybody wants to buy the other stuff let me know

), but I keep flipflopping on what to go for.

I am really keen on the Panny BD35 mainly due to the option to make it region-free (for both Blu and DVD). My budget is somewhere between £2-3k for the lot, so that leaves around £2-2.5k for the amp and screen. Screensize I would like is from 46-50". (Projection is not an option, although would have been nice.) The system would be for a dedicated room. While the idea of the Pioneer screens is nice, I think they are a little overpriced. I would be using the system for both movies and the occasional bit of music.

So any ideas?

Muchos gracias in advance,
Saqib.

I'd get to the SuperFi stand at the show where the new Pioneer 50'' HD is at 2100 (400 quid off) and other bits you want are reduced as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am way up north in Scotland so traveling down to London is not an easy option. But, what other stuff would you have recommended?

Any further advice would be appreciated,
