Hi,

I'm looking for opinions on which one I should buy. They are both going for about $500 to my door. I just need good quality music and home theater sound. HDMI is not a concern. Any input is welcome.
-Thanks in advance

    Yeah, uh, that's more like $340 to your door, and you can spend that $160 on cool music/movies, or most of a BluRay player, or many, many other things.

    I wish, If I lived in the states there would be no question.
    It's actually $390 shipped to canada, then Customs (13% Tax) and brokerage fees (at least $50) oh and maybe duty $20 there. Plus it traveling in original package only and its got a hell of a long way to go. So who knows what kinda shape it will arrive in.

    Now I'm at $500 at least....
