    HDTV Dillema...Size!

    I've been looking to either a Sony projector, or a Toshiba 65H81. The bad thing about the Toshiba is the size. I would be putting it on the 3rd floor, so as you can see a 6x6/400+ pound TV would be a challenge. Does anyone know of the 65' incher comes "apart"? I know that some of the bigger TV's...

    Projection or HDTV?

    Thanks for the suggestion on the Sony unit. I've never had much experience with projectors. I plan on putting the unit on the ceiling about 10-15FT from the screen. Would that be any problem? How hard is it to align the unit to the screen to get a good picture? What kind of inputs does the unit...

    Pioneer vs. HK

    I've narrowed my list of receivers to two. Which one would you prefer? Harmon Kardon AVR 7000 or Pioneer VSX-37TX ELITE The Pioneer has a better feature set, but the HK has got pretty good marks too. Could someone elaborate more on "Logic 7"?

    When is it time to get a projection?

I plan on having 2 rows of seating. I've been looking at a 65' toshiba HDTV, but I'am concerned with not only getting it...

    Projection or HDTV?

    I think this question would go here as I'am currently getting an equipment list as my first "dedicated" HT will be finished soon. I just have one question. I really wanted to go with a 65' Toshiba HDTV, but I wonder if projection would be better? The HT makes it a little difficult...it's on the...

    Home Theater Review...

    Thanks for all the input guys. Yea, the CS5, for what I paid is a great center. It matches very well with the LX10 & LX5's. I've been researching on the Paradigm Monitor 7 as the mains. I really need to go and listen to them first. The LX10's IMO are still pretty good.
