Now that the PS3 can decode DTS:MA by next week, I think this thread will have more relevance now that more users will be interested in the best 'bang for the buck' receivers.

All along I felt the thread needs a sticky.

Someone should do an A-B with the PS3. Without the full blown MA and then with.

I don't know why this thread is here. Except for the last page of posts it was active "pre-AVS cleanup" of HDM areas. There's no reason for the thread to be here. If anything, it should be in the receiver forum and "billyju(?)" just started a thread there. Or maybe the BD player forum. It won't be a sticky if it's PS3 only. Stickies are now only for common things for all BD players.

Please, can somebody do this: Start a new thread (not here if it's hardware related) and make a clear statement of what the intent is to be. Or just go to the Amps and Receiver's forum. Thanks.
