Home Theater Notes

Denon receiver for outside and inside (processing only) because of ABT 2010 video chip, apparently the best at the moment. Denon also has universal BD player, while Oppo doesn't (??? as far as I know ???). Watch out for Denon's new CI series for HDMI 1.4a (3D-compatible).

Marantz' line doesn't seem to cater to the high-end market

Onkyo doesn't have the ABT processing chip.

Haven't really looked into Yamaha, Sony etc.

Cloud Cover LED Shower Rose

Read an article it costs $625 (but it could be just the smallest one). Hopefully the big one won't cost more than $1,000.
