After waiting for the VHS Hi-Fi's to come out, I've made up my mind that I want a Beta Hi-Fi. I think the Betas have a much cleaner sound than the VHS's. MY question is, then, is which Beta Hi-Fi unit to get. I've looked at the Sony SL-2700, and at $1349 is a little more than what I'm willing to spend. I've looked at and heard an NEC VC-739E which a local audio/video store had on sale for $839. Frankly, I really couldn't see any difference in the picture quality between the two models, and the sound quality was almost as good. Anyone have any opinions on these models(ha, ha, he asked)??? Are these good prices???Any other units out there I should look at???Any mail order houses I should inquire about before purchasing ANYTHING???Please reply by mail to me and I will summarize.
