Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies.


I am trying to put together my first serious HT system. So I would appreciate any recommendations about any mentioned gear. Speakers will likely be Monitor Audio RS8 Silver 5.0 speakers, with probably the new Adcom GFR-700 receiver. Any sub woofer recommendation would be great as well. I am considering a B & W ASW 750. Room is around 17x17x8 with good acoustic properties. As you may have guessed, I am trying to stick to spending a reasonable amount of money on a good system. Hence, no seperates for now. I also do not want to sink mega bucks into a DVD player right now , when there is a format war taking place between HD-DVD and Blu-ray. So, I would like to get a good new or used HDMI DVD player that wont break the bank. I probably listen to music about equal the time I spend watching movies. Although I am not locked into any of the gear mentioned, I can get the afore mentioned gear easily and at reasonably modest prices. Thanks for your input.

Suggest you simply go to Best Buy (or others with money-back return policies) and get one of the several HDMI DVD players available (I use a Samsung with a Panasonic projector & 106" screen) and SEE (no pun!) how you like the video performance.
If the audio performance is not up to the level you want, then get a seperate player for audio.
Good listening! .....AND L@@king!

p.s. suggest you check out the Yamaha 5990 receiver. It retails for $1000 and is also available at BB. (disclaimer: NO connection to Best Buy OR Yamaha in any way) It UPsamples all video to 1080i on the HDMI output AND is a switcher with TWO HDMI inputs.
