Hello Jim,

A very nice setup indeed! I especially like the Polks and Denon 2910! I to am a Polk guy. I also like your dvd collection. If you would check out one of my systems at www.polkaudio.com. Click: Clubpolk/Forum then, Click:System Showcase and last click on system name: djay156 10/2/06 was the entry date. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. I have a Boston Acoustics 6.1 in the living room and NHT 5.1 in my bedroom but the Polks 7.1 my favorite, because it's taken me some time to put it all together to it's present state. I will change the Sony 5000 to a Cary, Anthem or another high end pre/pro when finances permit. I will also be getting a Denon 2910-5910 I'm not sure which one yet. Talk to you soon and thanks again.
