Well thanks to all who replied:
I have now finally decided to go with the DSP3100C only.
I find it can adequately replace the DSP5000C, in my room, with a smaller footprint and very little to no 'downside' that I can detect.
So, I will now have DSP5000Mk2 L&R, DSP3100 Center & DSP33's at the rear. This will work (for me).
Shortly I am buying an 861 processor, this will replace my 568.2MM, and then 'POSSIBLY' a G98 to follow, (replacing my 598DP).
The latter (G98) however may need to be given a little more thought though, bearing in mind that 'Cheapo' just maybe the way to go for a while, as stopgap.
Do I go for the G98, or should I join Mr.& Ms. 6pk. on the couch untill the dust settles and the future (DVD) path determined ?
Cheerz all.
