After selling just 2000 copies of its HD DVD player, the DV-HD805, and discontinuing the system back in February, Onkyo has decided to have another stab at a HD system and is set to release a Blu-ray player in the tail-end of the year.

Though details are sketchy – read: non-existent – the company has announced that the player has been designed to partner Onkyo’s frankly brilliant AV receivers equipped with full HDMI processing of 1080p video and decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound formats.

Although this is the first time Onkyo has delved into Blu-ray players, the company has be a forerunner in pushing Blu-ray’s audio capabilities, with its AV receivers.

The announcement of the yet-unnamed players comes just after the company unveiled its second generation AV receiver range, which houses the magnificent TX-NR05.

Goldmund’s Media Room has been decked up with Epilogue speakers by the same manufacturer. The price is sky rocketing but let’s forget it for now. The speakers seem to be packed with adrenaline boosters and seem to be built to give your Media Room a lot more happening and loud. They look pretty geometric and have a cool coat of polished black that gives them a touch of elegance and peps up to your main unit by making it seem a tad more elaborate. Goldmund make it big, like for example the Blu-ray player by them that has a $17,000 price tag hanging from it. So you know what to expect as your eyes roll down to the next section.

The Epilogue Speaker System costs and obscene $300,000. However, I would not really like to comment on the quality of sound since it is subjective to your first hand hearing experience and expectations.
