Thanks Fish, Awesome Cuda` by the way ! I Just seem to be wary of the LCD for some reason. I`m pretty sure I`ll be happy either way, & appreciate your help man ! God, Got to take the plundge, 1080p Vs. 10,000:1 . GRRRRRRR.

Thanks Cal, I should let you know I was a Asnt. Mgr. of a Sony Store here in Canada for some time. There has never been a larger Sony fan than myself, in fact the set I am replacing is a 46" HD PJ which is now 6 years old. It in fact is a CRT PJ, but when I bought it was state of the art. I have had no complaints as it was the first 46 Sony built, and as with alot of their products the flagships are "overbuilt" and over the nominal buying price. It has been a great set, I have redone the calibration on the guns every 2 years or so, but other than that perfect! Now however at $300 a pop for bulbs( X 3), no way to know if the engine will even put up with the higher output, thats half the cost of a far advanced product. Bang for the buck, damn straight, but what I need is something a step above the PJ, & I`m not bitching that this set went 6 years, it did me good ! When put beside either the Toshiba or LG even when new, my Sony would look like a dime store special. I have to make my choice right away as I need a TV for the weekend, & the funny thing I`m having trouble with now is fitting my KLF-C7 into any kind of a decent looking stand. The Sony LCD PJ`s are great, but I`ve been there and done that. Hopefully, It will be ok with either, just looking for a little input from people with the same dilema. Thanks Cal !

Thanks Rick, Look into my history for my system, "center channel advice". It had a happy ending, and here`s hoping this will too. Plasma seems to be my sway, but the 1080p Lcd sure looked sweet.

Hi Guys, I don`t know if any one will have some input for me here, but here we go. I now have to upgrade my Monitor/Tv and am torn by the age old Plasma or LCD ?`s. I do alot of research before I purchase this stuff, but need some help by people who understand how much making the wrong decission sucks sooooo bad. I`m torn between 2 42" sets and could use some feedback: 1- LG 42PC3D 2- Toshiba 42HL196 Both of these are 2K & each seem a good choice, I`m primarily watching HD & SD on my Sattelite, have upconv DVD, but love Nascar and Nhl. I hate the drag assoc with LCD but 1080p upconv for the Toshiba didn`t rear the lousy results I almost expected in the showroom. The LG @ 10,000:1 also looked awesome. Help guys, anybody with some time with one of these sets would be "UBER" helpfull !

Hey Guys, Sorry I haven`t been back to you in a while. Thanks to the help of a most honest and simply awesome fella` in Mass. my entire problem has been solved. If you`ve been following this I`ve needed to timbre match some dinosaur T5000 fronts(Tangent) & T500(Tangent) SSurr`s. I have T1000`s(Tangent) for BSurr`s & KSW300 sub. The prob being the 1000`s have a responce of 91 db. 5000`s 99 db & 500`s 97 db sens. And sooo I was using one of the 1000`s as Center. My hope was to invent a time machine to match the 99db sens of my fronts and find a KLF C7 that was new in the box. Better than that I found a kindered spirit which made these daydreams come true. I have yet to recieve it, but feel like a kid in a candy store.I just wanted to say thanks to buckeye for all your response, & MIKE you are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I`ll let you guys know how fantastic it is, even send pics if I must. I can`t wait ! And now I have to figure out air flow to my HK and figure out a way to make my KP46WT500 handle the 40 LB`s. I think I`ll go old school & hang it. Just so you know, I`m going to be hung up with a back operation soon, so it`s uber important to find a solution. If any of you know Mike ,give him a pat on the back, cause he really helped me out thus far. THANKS GUYS !

Thanks for your response, god I don`t know because my local dealer only carries Reference series, and I know that once I have this all set up I`m not going to play with it for a long time.If I could get a KLF C-7 brand new in the box I think I`d be set. There is one on the bay, but I hate delivery downers! Trying to get it right with my dinosaurs is not as easy as it should be.I was going to get the RC35, because of the deal offered, but I have heard nothing good for my existing stuff. However it doesn`t seem that going higher in this series seems to provide an answer. Thus far I have heard nothing bad w/the 62. Our fridge just blew 2 days ago, so finance is important, that and all the rest. I would like to consider the RC-7 , however the placement over my Sony tv is next to impossible. It`s great to have this thing rocking with a cd, but I`ve had to crank up the db on my center to get response for the T1000. Toil and trouble, Matching this is not much fun, any advice is greatly is appreciated!

Yeah I know, but I have always just had a separate stereo and then surround for the movies and such.It took a lot of time to decide to combine this and make it all work, I am very impressed with my HK receiver thus far, but boy does it heat up(gosh wonder why......OK that`s sarcastic) I have to admit I`m not an expert when it comes to this, but I know what I like. I just hate like you know what returning something 2 days after the fact to upgrade. That`s why when I discovered this forum it was great to find guys and girls as pumped about the best damn speakers on the planet ! So you have a 62 and it is everything and more than you expected ? What don`t you like about it ? And my final skill testing ? what do U have as a supporting system around it ? Thanks in advance for your help !

You are very correct in the Tangent, Thanks for your expertise! I have a pair of T-1000 bookshelf speakers and am currently using one for center in a 5.1 format, which my HK AVR435 has the Logic 7 feild to compensate (we all now how effective surr back l&r are). However my T-1000`s have a db sensitivity of only 91, my T-5000`s are 99db and rear side T-500`s have 97db sensitivity. Soooooo the math ain`t so good as the center is nowhere near up to the task of keeping up with the front 5000`s. I have also now hooked up my KSW-300 Sub and dialog is not what it should be, I was hoping that the RC-35 would bring a little brighter resopnse. Again asking ?`s, so here we go, my local dealer also has access to the RC-7, even though I would have to build a shelf to handle it`s 40+ pounds , do you still figure a no - go as far as matching response? Thanks so much for your input, as I hate putting faith in an E-bay type solution when it comes to speakers.

I am currently wondering how much of a difference there is in sound quality between the RC-25 + RC-35? I have a pair of T5000`s as front l&r and T500`s as rears, I will use my T1000`s as Rear surr l&r all powered by an AVR435 HK reciever. Am I going to be able to hear the 1 db or is there way more to figure in, some help by prof`s would be great ! Thanks in advance...Because reviews I have seen have been so mixed. Any input would be GREAT !
