I'm aiming for less than $1200 for one/2 components (i.e. I might get an SACD/CD only component, then buy DVD/DVD-A later).

I have also read bad things about Pioneer 45/47 all in one machines.

Sony makes a 222ES which supposedly (i've just read reviews) does great things for CD/SACD only.

The Denon 2900 coming out might be good, I guess I just have to hurry up and wait for it to come out.

Thanks for your input.
