Title of Aticle: Betting on Blu-ray - High-end home theater installers see a preference

"We are happy to install either one", says Jon Robbins, chief operating officer of HiFI House, a consumer electronics dealer focused on high-end installation in Philadelphia. "As a matter of fact, we're doing quite well with the LG BH100 combo unit, I really don't have a preference," Robins says, "but it seems that in the last 60 to 90 days, the consumer awareness of Blu-ray has gone leaps and bounds over HD."

Richard Glikes, executive director of Home Theater Specialist of America, a 61 member buying group representiong a half a billion dollars a year in sales says this: "Personally, I think the die has been cast, I surveyed our membership, and 93.95% of the high-definition players they've sold are Blu-ray, six percent are HD DVD, and a lot of those are the LG combo unit. I do not think it would be to long before Blu-ray is pronounced the winner."

David Wexler, co-owner of The Little Guys, a high-end retailer and installation company in Chicago says: " HD camp is all about how cheap and how fast. Blu-ray is about the quality and performance of the machine."
