LED's look so good in stores like best buy because of the ultra bright lights. the bright light hides many of the problems that led/lcd tvs have. i would suggest you get either a panny v10 or a high level sammy plasma. you will be very happy

I own two plasma's and an lcd and have spent a lot of time watching a led/lcd set. plasma's have better blacks, yes. thats true. but they also have much better shadow detail. where led/lcd sets are able to get darker than traditional lcd sets, they achieve this by giving up a significant amount of shadow detail. the deep blacks give the plasma's more saturated colors and details in the picture. plasma's have more dynamic gray scale ranges which will help render the more "3d" effect to the picture. they also more steps in the tonal range as the difference between black and white is greater. plasma's deliver better color accuracy as they can render deeper, richer colors, and they can blend tones better than lcds, which generates a larger color pallet. plasma's do not suffer from motion issues like lcd sets. and plasma's also have much better viewing angles than lcd sets. and if you plan on doing any gaming, plasma is a much better choice because of all these factors. and i almost forgot, plasma's have longer lifespans than most lcd sets on the market. panasonic plasma's are rated at 100,000 hours. thats over 11 years if you leave it on 24/7 here's a link to read up on: http://www.displaymate.com/LCD_Plasma_ShootOut.htm

plasma will have better pq then an led/lcd with less of the downfalls, and will cost less

No, im not attached to the sub whatsoever. i will consider the A2-300 as well thanks

It's personal preference. Have you listened to both brands? Many like Paradigm's laid back sound; I do too but I much prefer the live, in your face sound of Klipsch.Welcome to the forum! i have heard klipsch, but never Paradigms. there kinda hard to audition because not many places carry them. im just looking for some thoughts from the pro's right now. im gonna try to audition the speakers soon

yeah when i typed it in it looked like that, but when i posted it, it all grouped together

I have no idea why it is all getting grouped into a block like that. Any help so i can make it easier to read?

Ok so ive been searching around for HT setups and this is what ive narrowed it down to Option 1: Reciever Onkyo sr706 Front Speakers Klipsch RF-52 Center Speaker Klipsch RC-52 Sub Infinity PS212 Option 2: Reciever Onkyo sr706 Front Speakers Paradigm SE 1 Center Speaker Paradigm CC-290 Sub Infinity PS212 Im pretty much set on the receiver and the sub as you can see. However, i need help deciding on the speakers. Which setup is better? Any recommendations on different speakers is welcomed too. Nothing more expensive that what i already have though Thanks a lot
