I know I'm looking in the low end compared to many of you, but I was wondering if anyone has heard the new Def Tech Procinema 800 & 1000 side-by-side and how different they sound. TPV reviewed the 1000 very favorably, but I've yet to find a review of the 800. My local Def Tech dealer is still demo-ing the procinema 80's until he finds someone to buy the floor model, but says the 800's will "sound very similar." He doesn't have any demo of the 1000, so the opinion of anyone who has heard both speakers will be very helpful. I'm inclined to go for the 1000's, because of the review and because "they must be better" but I kind of feel like I need some basis for my decision to justify the extra $500 to SWMBO.

To drive whichever speakers I wind up buying I'm considering either the Yamaha RX-V659 or the Onkyo TX-SR674. The Onkyo was very favorably reviewed by cnet, but I was wondering if maybe they cut corners elsewhere to get HDMI upconverting at that price point.

I appreciate any input anyone has.
