I went through JVC authorized dealers to find one reasonably close. I called and asked two questions - do you have the RS-1 and are you priced competitively?
He answered yes to both so off I drove last Saturday.
One part true - He had the RS-1 on display in a nice theater setup with a motorized, tensioned Da-Lite screen. He played some of the movie "Ghost Rider" on Blu Ray. The unit looks bigger than I thought, but I heard no noise from it. Very good picture, but in an almost totally dark room. To reallly test it it might have been better to see it also play sd dvds and sd broadcasts - through my Onkyo. But you can't have everything. At least I have actually seen one of these units turned on and playing.
Other part not so true - He quoted list price and when I reminded him that I asked him if he was competitive, and that he said yes - In the store he said that didn't mean competitive with internet sellers.
OK then, a knowledgeable home theater guy with a JVC RS-1 actually set up for demonstration. List Price though.
