Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Pls clarify

Although I've been building my 2-channel system for a while, you can call me a newcomer to home theater. I've built quite a satisfactory music system around Sonus Faber Concertino Home speakers. And these speakers, together with a JMLab subwoofer, is the starting point of my venture into combined HT + music system.

Here's what I'm not so clear about:

1. Is Sony's reputation with HT enthusiasts really that bad, at least in amplifier department? I've read some good things about Sony ES amps someplace else, not to mention the well-accepted and raved-about 9000ES SACD/DVD player.

2. Is there any Sony ES amp that replaces the VA777ES? I like the cool programmable touchpad remote in this model, btw.

3. What do you think of the SOUND of this VA777ES amp? Do you just hate the Sony marque or this one in particular? Btw, pls note I don't mind doing without ProLogic II, DTS ES, and SurroundEX coz I don't have the extra speakers anyway. :) For me, sound is more important and features just need to meet the standard DD and DTS baseline.

Thanks
