I need help deciding on an upgrade. My current A/V system is as follows:
Denon AVR 3803
Denon DVM 1805
Hitachi 42HDT20 Plasma
KEF Q5 Front Left & Right
KEF Q1 Rear Left & Right
KEF Q9c Center
Velodyne SPL 800 Sub Woofer
Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3250HD Digital Cable Box
Hughes Hi-Def Satellite Box

I want to upgrade my Receiver and am considering the Mcintosh setup. I have also looked at NAD's T163/T973 as well as Yamaha's RX-Z9. I am starting to starting to get a little confused. I have read alot of the reponses in this forum and you guy's seem to be a lot of help.

Questions:
What is the minimum component video bandwidth necessary for HDTV?
Will I lose Video signal by running Component Video through A/V box as opposed to directly to Hitiachi's TV Box? (It has 2 component video inputs)
What will Progressive Scan Output/DCDi etc. on the receiver do for me if I am already using a DVD player that has it?
Will it make any difference in my Digital Cable/Satellite signal?
I am willing to replace my current DVD player with a better unit and am also considering Monster Cable's Voltage Stabilizer.

I really like the Mcintosh setup but Yamaha has the latest and greatest video stuff.

If money was no object, what should I do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

On the audio side, Mc sounds a lot better than Yamaha - if you want to get more quality for the buck, and don't mind used, there is www.videogon.com You can get McIntosh or Krell (even better).
