Mark as Gordon rightly says you really have to go and view a good selection of players before you can decide what suits your tastes best.....Gordon told me to go and do this before i bought anything( I really wanted a crt,but just don`t have the space,and my wife was rather against it too),so after many demo`s, sim 2 200 and DM.the dlp yamaha,sanyo plv30/60.etc.etc,I had set my mind on the sony 11HT,Gordon was giving me another demo of it, which i was happily enjoying,when the sharp rep brought in the 9000....just had to have it,loved the smooth cinematic picture(sorry, but for me it just blew the sony away) great contrast, better picture depth, better black level,the size was ideal but the uk price of 10k
,really felt for Gordon,he has been a great help, but i just could not justify buying from the uk, got it from japan (less than 5k)never had a problem with it ,the service was great .........and I still love it.
Gordon,No not grumpy just educated as ever
.I never knew the HI FI show was on .....until the day after it finished
. If you ever get the time, I would love you to come over,as you know it has been my own install (1st ever so probably plenty wrong
),and you know the location was far from easy/ideal,so i would love you to cast your eye over it and give me your expert opinion,and get your analyser on to it........seem to have a problem at the moment,with slight ghosting on credits etc......been told it may be the cables
, but feel free to get in touch anytime
