- The cheapest I saw the E1000 was $1000. I got the DSP E200 instead. It
- was $500. It has 6 modes (2 Pro-Logic). It is a 5 speaker set, not the
- 7 like the E1000. It is 25 Watts for the center and rear. I was told
- at one place this would not be powerful enough, but the thing cranks,
- when I play CD's through it. And LD's are a new experience. It all
- depends what kind of set up your looking at. The room mine is in is
- small, so the E200 suited my needs just fine.
