thanks Gonk. I think we're going that route - We'll do the Perf 2 setup ($520) with the digital Panasonic HDMI receiver ($280) and the OPPO 970 for under a thousand, leaving money for wall mounts and a DVI/HDMI cable from Outlaw. His Samsung DLP doesn't have HDMI so this is a great way to put together a nice entry level system. Thanks guys!
