WOW
Thanks for all the good info so far, gentlemen.
Funny, my new room is 20x25 and it is starting to feel like a cramped, nearfield set up.
I am thinking more and more that a bit of Rives type room consulting would have as much an impact on this installation than anything.
A longer and more philosophical conversation is why there should be that much difference between good home theatre and good music, but perhaps that should be another thread.
Another piece of the puzzle:
above this room will be an IDENTICAL room, which is where there new master bedroom suite will go. Although this is likely to be carved up internally with walls, closets, bathrooms etc.
Therefore, they have asked for a < $5000 40" plasma for the foot of their bed.
I have had great luck in my own bedroom with the inexpensive Pioneer HT receiver and the Infinity 750s following recommendations from some of you and might just suggest the same.
So are there any good HD plasmas WITHOUT the cheesey internal amp and speakers?
Hopefully that frees up more cash for the BIG room downstairs.
