[quote user="IndyKlipschFan"] Do you guys who have 1080p projectors watch your HDTV TV programs at 720p? [/quote] I think our Satellite receiver outputs all the HD stuff at 1080i. What I'm not crazy about is that I can see compression artifacts if I look for them, but it's not often that I watch TV in the theater room.

Enjoy it!! I don't regret buying mine a single bit, especially now with the 'scope screen..

'Scope is incredible... We went from a 52"x92" 16:9 to a 49"x117" 2.35:1. Viewing distances are 11' and 18'. The 'scope is just absolutely amazing. We've setup 3 lens memories, one for 16:9, one for 2.35, and one for SD DVD which shrinks the picture a little to help hide the lack of resolution. The AE3000 make this all possible for THOUSANDS less than a good PJ and anamorphic setup. Using Cinema3, the picture is still plenty bright in our well-controlled room

[quote user="Rich_Guy"] Nezff, looks great! I think you should bring your fronts out just a bit more from the wall and definitely give them more toe-in aiming them more toward the center, I think it will improve the sound stage. [/quote] Actually, pulling them away from that wall unit would help as much as, if not more than, pulling them from the wall.

RG6 (75ohm) works fine for audio and video, and is what the monoprice cables are made from. I chuckled too when I read "with metal fancy connectors", but hey, at least they're honest and don't tell you it'll make a huge difference!

Just my opinion, but in this day of big power amplifiers, bi-amping is overrated. When you're talking about a tube amp pushing 5 watts total, I could certainly see how you could drain the amp's reserves with the low-end, and it would affect everything. But with the mosterous power suppliesin the XPA series, I can't see that you'd notice a difference. Add to that the crossovers used in a HT receiver, and your mains aren't trying to reproduce 30hz anymore... Strictly my opinion

I used a steamer on ours... we got them at BB&B, and another set from *gulp* wally world.

There's a few used XPA-5's for sale in the emotiva forums right now.. you could snatch one up for a steal.. just an idea.. The XPA brought new life into my speakers like nothing else. I always use the "I could be like a normal guy and blow $200 at a titty bar if you'd prefer." as my excuse.. But a new TV is always good, too :)

We have "last year's" Panny TH50-PZ77U in the main room in the house, and it's great. Comfortable viewing even at 20-25' or so for watching the news while we're getting ready in the morning, and watching TV shows at about 8'. But for movies, nothing beats a BIG screen.

Wow, that looks just like a KLF-C7...
