Thanks,

I was told the upscaler on my Loewe was great and thats why my old sony does so well.

No Component on a new product? Wow, fast getting obsolete!

Im using just two woofers as the "old" LFM-1 is getting kicked upstairs.

That old D1 is real slow getting booted up and my kids think the darn thing is busted. 2 years ago bought two for $100 on e-bay. They sent two thinking one might not be good. They are, just slooooow!

Plan on downloading the SMS guide asap and start reading up. Got to get electrician in to get a dedicated circut for the 7500.

Any advice on line conditioner? I have a Paramax unit but its a basic unit and a bit old. I don't remember the model number (its at home) but it has some lights on it! (I know thats silly!)

E-bay has good deals on monster power units but im skeptical. I forgot about line conditioning and cables when I figured the budget! Wife said she won't ask if I don't tell!

Thanks for the heads up. I am certainly taking on a lot of new technology in a short time. Basically starting all anew! Not much basis for comparison. Im coming off a 15 year old denon surround reciever and those cambridge soundworks pasive sub/sat. Added LFM-1 about 2 years ago and been lurking/lusting here ever since.

The M&K's all sit in boxes awaiting the new outlaws. Old Denon making some funny noises and now operates on 3 channel mode now.
