    Sony BluRay players have a flaw - they will not output 1080p on the component jacks. So either avoid Sony players or just live with 1080i. (Most people cannot tell the difference between 720 and 1080, let alone the difference in 1080i vs 1080p).

    lol, my wife can't even tell the difference between 480i and 1080i broadcasts!

    My daughter (12) and are totally dumbfounded by such a lack of discrimination or even care!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I love it! The soundstage is huge and the dynamics are effortless. The speakers are biamped and sound sweet.

    Did I miss something? Why are we talking about blu-ray players in a 2-channel forum? Oh and my sony blu player outputs 1080p via the component just fine.

    a) It's a PS3
    b) who cares about 1080p via component anyways...???

    cnh was responding to the spam post by Edward Brendan. These threads often times have a way of going from one subject to another, just the way it goes with more than one chef in the kitchen. It's all good man, sit back and enjoy the forum, it's a great place. I also have a PS3 as my Blu-Ray player running via HDMI and it is awesome, I will never get another player as long as it is still alive and kicking.

    Good catch but as stated it was in reply to a spammer who got one over.
