are you so sure the denon will be better than the pioneer ?? bigboss has a mighty fine a.v. setup ,and he says that he can see no difference on it between his ps3 , panasonic bluray player , and his pals denon 2500 ...
given that you see no improvement over your pana , even though its supposedly , allegedly , inferior to the pioneer , do you really want to spend more money , on a denon that may or may not be better ??
TBH brett, even you may be finding the same results as I did. I will urge you to demo the Denon before deciding.
