I only said China as a joke...but that is where 70+ LED exist and they are big $$$.. The Panny 65.. I think they call it S2 or something is probably the cheapest going in 65".. yes no 3D... The Panny VT25 is 3D but cost more. LG new PX950 is a 60 inch plasma with 3D. MSRP is 2600.. so you figure it might street for a litte less. Most if not all 65 LCD's will be over you budget...Like I said before give Mitsu DLP's a look.. they go as big as 82..

bigger then 65 you have to look at Mitsubushi DLPs in that price range. $2500 is not much Sammy C8000 63" plasma ~3K Panny 65 VT25 -~3.5K+ Sammy C8000 65 LCD 5k+ if you are in in china or GER you might be able to find the 72" LG LED.. probably 10K

Well thanks but im getting whole 7.2 kit.. If i go 9 then i will most likely go in wall as well. Im been on a size saving stealth kick lately. Those lightspeaker in the kitchen that klipsch has are totally cool and work great.

And. I am considering going 650 instead on my lascala.. I dont want to go 3 across since i dont have a projector

My room is approx 2200cf.. so much smaller then you have. Lascala I know are actually a little big but they sound so nice. I'm sure 650's will fill the room just fine..atleast 3 of them and 2 subs and 2 thx surrounds as well. So they are warmer huh ? that is a good thing. Uually I listen to music using a tube amp, because the lascalas sound warmer with tube amplication then my receiver. I just worried for music I might lose something going away from the La Scalas. I generally dont listen very high volume.. maybe like -50db on the dial max and my tube amp rarely goes above 4 which is quite loud even at 33wpc. I only have one RW-12 for a sub... so going to 2 THX sub will be dramactic improvement I'm sure.

Can you compare 2 lascalas to 2 650 for me

How about just going ultr2 thx

Nice message.. I'll counter with if she (ellen) brings Portia whatever with her, I might ok with it.

La Scala upfront... ok I've done Cornwall and Heresy (in 5.1) but honestly the space requirements are a bit much. It seems most rear surrounds from klipsch at not in wall.. RS52II, THX 525's ect. I dont mind one pair of those...but if I decide to go 9.1...I'd like atleast 1 pair of rears to be inwall. Thus the main question : Is anyone using different brand speakers that have a considerably lower dB then klipsch. For instance I'm interested in using a pair of PSB CW260 as rear surrounds but they are only 88 dB. Sounds not using something like audessey fix the dB issue ? ok maybe timbre wont be perfect, but I'm thinking move for movies anyways. thanks in advance..

I going to turn to the lascalas a little, till this point as was just adjusting the center. Yes this is only for movies.. 2 channel audio only goes though a tube amp thanks all.

yeah more reason for me to get my custom center plans ( lascala mid and tweeter drivers w/10 inches JBL woofers) going.. I already have the center at +10db but I have to turn the volume up high to hear all the dialog, then the explosions happen and it's earth shattering which I admit is sometimes cool.

so what's the best way or another way?... I've played with settings on the receiver and have never been totally satisfied. I know the issue is probably my small center channel (academy) combined with LaScala fronts. I hate it when people in movies whisper []

Parasound sells something in there Z classic series..ZFD ??? that is their HDMI controller..

I'd get the S301 from costco (same as s300).. you get a free hdmi cord and the 5 movie offer.. The S1 does have some better features, but the s300 is a faster machine. The S1 is extremely slow in load times etc....the s300 also has 1080p/24 so you cant go wrong.. at the same price I would still by the S300.

I use the academy as the center for my lascala's... it's acceptable but eventually will move to the rear if and when I even get my custom center done.. which is the lascala mid/tweeter horns with 10 inch JBL woofers, I have all the parts just need to get around to having somebody build me a box.

I have all the guts... crossover,midrange,tweeter.. etc.. Just need a walnut box that will fit it all with a cover in front. Any woodworkers out there... Thanks, Johnny spdntrxi@pacbell.net

damn I was excited until you said C20..

anybody wanna go potential havsies...belle would make a wonderful center..

were are you located...in bay area email me spdntrxi@Pacbell.net with price

I have one..but currently using with a scott integrated..so my RW-12 is not getting much use. Great unit.. seems to work better with SACD's then normal CD...

I see the birch pair are spoken for... bummer you had me tempted to sell my lascala's

dah I'm blind.. weekend start already please

might help to know where you are located.. something like that does not ship well...you can pm me.

I would be all over it was well..and yes driving distance for me too.. problems.. 1. I dont have the proper corners...I could but it would a big re-do of the living area. 2. I'd have to sell my lascala's..(not likely)

Ok I changed my mind...make the pay
