Apologies guys but I need your help one more time...
I just came back from a friend's house where he showed me his newly installed ReQuest Movie and Music System and, as I have neither owned nor played with a K system, I am curious as to what the K system offers over the ReQuest system so thought I would ask the experts here...
The advantages/differences that I note in K's favour are:
1. It simply works seems to be the universal mantra...I have not heard nor read enough to comment on ReQuest
2. Support seems to be unparalleled... have not heard nor read enough to comment on ReQuest
3. The number of Blu-rays disks that can be housed by the system in that the ReQuest system appears to i) be capped at 400 and ii) rely on Sony Blu-ray disk changers [not my first choice]
4. The user interface is unparalleled...but, I would like input from others because I have never seen the K interface in action but the ReQuest interface seems slick [see
http://www.request.com/demos/HDTV_Interface/HDTV_Interface.html ]
5. And the biggie, it looks as though the ability to distribute Blu-ray content one needs a video switch which for me is a non starter because of how my house is wired; that is, I have run cat-5e/6 wiring [why the builder mixed cat-5e/6 is something I will never understand] which means K will work but I do not have home run HDMI wiring [and HDMI over cat-5e/6 is NOT an option for me as I do not have multiple drops in every location, another stupid oversight by the builder]...
While I am sold on the K system I am curious from those who know....you guys...what you perceive/understand the K system pros/cons to be relative to the ReQuest system in addition to those noted above...
TIA...
