Sorry but it does make me wonder about these experts.

Does Marantz use LCOS based technology in any of their PJ?????

Could you recommend a non DLP below 2k thats upto the same level or better.

Any info or advice would be appreciated.

Does any of the WHF team have any inputs on this and recommend any alternatives.

Panasonic's LCD-based projector line-up have been very impressive, with little of the 'lattice' effect some LCD projectors/viewers can suffer from (again ,there are as many people who seem to notice the LCD lattice as do the DLP rainbow effect!).

And at the higher end of the market, JVC's D-ILA projectors have also been mightily impressive - see also Sony and Marantz models using the same technology.

If the editor-in-chief responded then it must be right. Marantz have kept this information well concealed! Behind closed doors! Secret! Why? The public has a right to know!

What HiFi S&V are the bottom of a deep barrel IMHO.

They have little or no discrimination and cannot be relied on at all for any buying advice. This place is far, far better. Anyone that's been here for a few years actually (with one honourable exception) knows what they are talking about.

There was a lot of discussion of this in the processors & power amps forum, and spilled into the WHiFi forum. They got stroppy and did some banning and locking.
