I look at the picture quality of a 32 in Sony Wega and it leaves me thinking that dlp is still lacking. I like dlp due to the fact that it is just a bulb (granted and expensive one) that wears out and not the screen. To be honest though right now my focus is on the audio. ---------------- Okay. It's going to be tough to use Heritage series speakers with any tube TV because of shielding. If you were going with a projector it would be fairly easy to set the screen high enough to accommodate a Heresy, a Cornwall, or a La Scala at the center position. You can put a Heresy on a shelf over any RPTV, and you can put one under some DLP and LCD sets. Finally, you can do what some have done and gut a Heresy or a Cornwall to make a custom Heritage center for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Not necessarily true, older alnico tweeters and midrange drivers are shielded by design, and there is no reason why they would not work. Also, I have a friend that has a 34" tube Toshiba sitting on top of a pair of walnut Belles, with no distortion in the picture tube. The midrange driver is much farther back than the picture tube, and does not affect it. The woofer is also far enough away not to affect the tube as well. The tweeter magnet also has no effect at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowntnbkr Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Oh, well my wife doesn't really want a tube tv anyway, she likes the whole idea of a thinner tv that is half the weight. I just keep falling back on it because it seems the picture quality of a rptv/plasma/lcd is not quite up to snuff, but I am willing to make the tv fit the best audio setup.

michael hurd Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Display devices are falling in price, I am eventually looking to upgrade to a DLP projection television. On the other hand, there has never been as good a time to pick up a CRT rptv, with the prices as low as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hey Mowntnbkr if you want to see where this little thing between Olirin , Shane and myself started , lookup the ( need suggestions thread ) . By the way Olirin I left a tasty little tid-bit on page 3 that you and Shane might enjoy . Am I wrong ? No . Is the sky falling ? If Olirin says it is , it surely must be . By the way Olirin it's Friday , shouldn't you be getting ready for your'e Dungeons and Dragons clan meeting ? I here Shane has increased Krell's power by a factor of 4 , better put your'e game face on . And for the record I am neither a Heritage or reference owner , I am a KLIPSCH owner ... Oh , I almost forgot , IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Willy, I haven't played D&D since I was fourteen, not that it matters much to mowntnbkr and his thread. Do feel free to go on making stupid assumptions and being an ***, though. You've got quite the knack. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane_0_mac Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 My goodness willy, take a chill pill. The fact that you say my set up is not real klipsch speakers does not matter becuase I happen to love my set up. And how do you know so much about Dungeons and Dragons???? That is scary!

wstrickland1 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 By the way Olirin it's Friday , shouldn't you be getting ready for your'e Dungeons and Dragons clan meeting ? ya'll gotta admit, that's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I would suggest you take a look at some of the new DLP models . The argument over CRT vs Plasma , LCD , DLP could certainly fill up a forum on it's own . I have both , a great old Toshiba 35" CRT and a new 50" Samsung DLP . MY DLP looks better than my CRT , but then again my CRT is 12 years old and is not compatable with HD . I also find that the weight advantage of the DLP , wide viewing angle , and Shallow chasis gives it an advatage over my CRT .( 50" DLP - 70Lbs. , 35" CRT - 280 Lbs.) ,( DLP - 15" deep , CRT - 27" deep ) Many will say the black levels of the CRT's is the best , many will say Plasma has the best . I am happy with my DLP allthough it is by far not the best out there , plus there is no magnetic shielding issue . With the depth of your room you may find that a 50" plus screen size would be highly satisfying . IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane_0_mac Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I would agree with going with DLP. I got a really good deal on Mits or I would have went with a DLP myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hey with an Avatar like that Olorin I felt it was a reasonable assumption , why would it ruffle your rickets enough to make you use profanity ? Did I strike a nerve you pompus you know what . And Shane I have seen them playing at the shop that I buy my incense from ; Mmmm love the mullberry , you can't help but hear those folks going at it , Hilarious ! Seems like I was not too far off the mark though . IMO " We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Topic " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What's pompus mean? I'll third the DLP rec. Like Shane I was going to go that route, but the pricing on the CRT RP was too good to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have never regretted the time and effort it took to put together my Heritage HT. The sound of the horn midrange is what I like for music AND movies (IMO of course ). Also, half of the fun is that one cannot just go to the store and bring it home. The ultimate center (again IMO) is a vertical Cornwall sitting horizontally above the screen (I have never experienced any picture distortion on my Mit from that position. However, once when I tried it on the floor in front of the Mit the distortion was significant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
