I'm as guilty as the next guy when it comes to snap judgements, only to discover I was wrong. What motivated me last time was the urge/need to recapture some of the airiness and extension of the treble I lost when I sold my old speakers. The new ones don't do it as well so off I went through my cables and I found one that got me part of the way to what I wanted and I rationalized the rest of my assessment.
It only took a day for me to realize that I was wrong and that if I want those highs back, I'll need a different speaker. The cables can't make up for something with that big of a difference.
As for TVs, I'd like to second the recommendation for OLED. They have all the pluses of plasma (viewing angle, real, if not better blackness levels, lack of most motion blur, etc.) and they are capable of higher brightness levels and are more accurate in color range, hue, tone and shading.
I just saw an online demo of LGs newest offering that's as thin as a common house key (3.5mm) and you can lay it directly on the wall and it will stay there. Simply neat.
All the best,
Nonoise
