Best DVD for video and theater sound for 2000


Looking for a state of the art DVD and don't want or need SACD or DVD-A. Any thoughts appreciated

This is much cheaper than you're looking for, but the Sony 9000ES DVD (CD/SACD) are supposed to be amazing DVD players and they're selling for $800-$900 new. That may be an option if you're not concerned with their redbook or SACD performance. I don't know how they compare to the smaller companies' offerings.
