I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type
I would wait and do a bit more research on the LED backlit LCD. You want a high contrast ratio? How's about 500,00.00:1 ?. DLP will eventually go away except a few big size like 72" or 73". The retail price of these dinosaurs has dropped drastical... 
Please tell me.
Drum75, do yourself a favor by audition some of the switching amps . I listened to an El Cheapo Audiosources amp300 using the pre-out from the low-entry Denon at my work place and it is amazingly good for its price. Class A, A/B, Tubes...no longer... 
Please tell me.
Wwshull, All Bryston amps are ready to go without any "break-in" period needed. Bryston folks run all their amps thru a 100 hours " break-in" process at their factory before shipping their amps to their dealers. What you receive from your dealer i...

If you search for warm sound, Bryston will not give you what you are looking for. Never heard any one claimed that Bryston gears are warm. More likely " neutral" and kind of leanning toward bright side. I owned and sold the 4 Bsst since in my own ... 
Thiel/Crutchfield

Thiel/Crutchfield
I have not bought anything from Cruthfield but they did clearly state MSRP was for each speaker and different MSRP for different color of wood veneer. There are so many local dealers who treat customers by the size of their wallets, I may as well ...

Hiend2, I understand your feeling but yours is nothing to compare with mine. Here it is, let "me" cry my heart out: Bought SP16l & 4bsst brand new in the box. Less than a week, there are POP, tacks,Buzz...I went thru hell with local dealer and... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I am off the merry go round for goods, my friends. I was out of the hi-end hobby for years. Coming back last years, I had some good purchase but making a lot of unwised mistakes. I put all my faith and trust to a "guy" and here I am out of 12K and...

Krell and Patrick have the same quality : reliability.
