If you can find one complete, the Angstrom 200 & 205 with DTS is BY FAR the best sounding unit in this area. Not even close (sorry Lexicon and Meridian). THE BEST amps are Acurus. The are hard to find, but well worth the effort. DVD player is the Sony 7700. Most useful features and qualty.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE ANGSTROM 200&205. MIKE MOFFAT (THETA) HAS DESIGNED AN INCREDIBLE HOME THEATER PREAMP AT ANY COST.ANGSTROM 200 W/DTS($3900). ANGSTROM 205 AC3 DECODER ($1500)
I'm in the same process so let me tell you what I did. If you don't mind buying used equipments, you can build a very decent system. These are what I bought and will look for 1. Classe SSP-25 ($1400 shipped) 2. Citation 7.1 power-amp ($1000 shipped) 3. B&W ASW100 ($500 shipped) 4. B&W Matrix 802 S2 (in progress of buying for $1900) 5. Sony DVP S7700 ($700 new) Hope this helps
For anyone looking for a manual for the Angstrom 200, I took the time to scan it before I sold mine. So please contact me if you want a pdf of the Angstrom 200 Manual.
I see quite a few people on here looking for that manual and I could not find one online either.
