Dude what magazines do you read? Didn't you read that review on the Kenwood 5900? Kenwood makes some awesome receivers. Sony DVD players are not exactly what I consider to be quality? Have you ever actually seen or heard Kenwood products? Their Soverign DV-5900M is the most amazing progressive scan DVD player I've seen. It stomps the Denon DVD-2800, I mean if you have shitloads of money to blow on seperates, that's cool. Some how or another I don't think you do. Most people don't, so you need to buy an integrated receiver. And Kenwood has some just awesome technology, and I wont deny the stigma to the name... when I first looked at them I wouldn't even consider them. Until I compared them to a couple of others models in the $2000 range and decided it had the features that I wanted.
And as far as whacking off to pictures of $10000 MacIntosh that you can never affoard that is just gay. I mean you have to keep things within reason. My 240 is a huge ball of shit compared to a Ferrari F50... go figure. Probably because it costs about 200x as much. Same thing with audio, my Kenwood has a lot of very cool stuff, is it the best amp on the market? Fuck no! But is it an extremely nice sounding amp with loads of features? Yes it is!
