    any good news about BAD NEWS (BEARS, I mean)?

    It's pretty senseless to wait for Paramount to come out with a special edition of anything.

    42" HD Plasma - $1399??

    Well Sami then I have to admit I'm not sure what you don't agree with. I can't argue with you until I do :)

    42" HD Plasma - $1399??

    Hey Sami, what you are forgetting is that Plasma pixels are rectangular, NOT square like LCD, therefore the resolution is a 16:9 resolution, rather than a 4:3

    Onkyo tx-sr702 ... THX

    It's worth noting that if you want to use DVI, you need to choose another DVD player, as the Onkyo only has component :)

    Is this sub worth $100?

    Greg, the sub has been marked down from it's original price of $299 (first to $200, now to $100). Price is often misleading. But the OP didn't ask for a reccommendation, he asked about the S20. It's not my main room sub (it's in a second room), but it's very nice. It's also highly adjustable...

    Help with adding insulation to a subwoofer

    yes, but, are there components I need to worry about the batting touching? Can it be overstuffed?

    Is this sub worth $100?

    Greg, excuse me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though you are making a reccommendation without having heard the model the OP is referring to (and as such, not being entirely helpful). I have the Celestion S-20. It's a very decent sub for the price. It's a bit boomy and hollow (which I...

    Help with adding insulation to a subwoofer

    I'd like to tame some of the boominess (or hollowness) out of a sub. I got some pillow stuffing at Walmart. What do I need to know about adding it inside? Anything I should make sure it doesn't touch? How much should I use? Can I overstuff it? Thanks!!

    Does the center speaker have to be *exactly* "centered" on top/bottom of the TV?

    If it will help, here are my speakers. This is my bedroom setup, I fortunately do not have this problem with my main setup! http://onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=SKS-...ss=Speaker&p=i

    One thing I forgot to mention...I DO NOT plan on putting the back on the unit. So the back of where the speaker is will be open space. Will that have any difference?

    Does the center speaker have to be *exactly* "centered" on top/bottom of the TV?

    I already stated that I cannot put anything on top of the television. I wouldn't anyway, I personally think it looks terrible.

    Does the center speaker have to be *exactly* "centered" on top/bottom of the TV?

    Jack, can you give me a rough estimate of "really close"? I do tend sit kind of close.

    Does the center speaker have to be *exactly* "centered" on top/bottom of the TV?

    Thank you for the info John. This is my bedroom setup (although most of the time my main one because of my other roommates don't often share my tatses in viewing material), so optimal sound quality isn't a huge concern, but it would bother me if the vocals sounded "left" or "right" rather than...

    Does the center speaker have to be *exactly* "centered" on top/bottom of the TV?

    Since the dialogue comes from the center, I'm concerned that voices would sound like they are "off-centered" (for lack of a better term) if it were not under the TV.
