No offense D. Scott, but Robert was Evil's first name too. I guess my reference to Evil and this thread was a moot point to some, but I honestly thought the term was related to him and the ultimate end of his career.
I think as far as history is concerned, Robert Kneivel did the shark thing first. Am I wrong? Am I the only person in this thread that saw him do a jump live?
Be careful buying any of the Crutchfield scratch and dents. I've sent two 72's back myself. I'd be curious to know if the numbers I have written down match any of their scratch and dents.
Don't worry about the component switching. It isn't a big deal to hook all the video connections to the tv and the audio to the receiver. You have to do more remote switching. Some don't care about that. I love my Yamaha 1300 and would highly recommend the 6.1 feature of any receiver, if your...
Yes is the answer to the first question. Just so you know, he rear surrounds don't have to be behind you. There is nothing wrong with mounting them on the side walls. You might be surprised how well you like them.
I like the stretch modes of the Toshiba. Dvd's are incredible with the Panasonic CP72. TimeWarner HD is great as well. I've been more than pleased with our 50H82.
I like my Toshiba 50H82. I have zero complaints with picutre quality for dvd's and hdtv. I only have HD HBO via a digital TimeWarner connection. If you aren't going to change houses soon, I'd get the 50". If you plan on moving, like we are in three or four months, check out the 57H82. I wish I...
I was a brand spanking newbie once. I still am for that matter. The only bad thing I can say about my Axiom's...I couldn't audition them first. That being said, it didn't matter about the non-audition. I auditioned everything possible at the local B and M's. I bought the Axioms on a hunch and...

You need to list all the components in your system. Do you have cable (digital or not), vcr, dvd, etc? Then I can help. Also, tell me the model number of the receiver you have in that box.
We love our 1300. I considered the same models as you and a couple more. I went with the Yamaha. I'd have to hear another brand with my exact setup in our house to be convinced we could have better sound. Go with your gut instinct. If it's your first HT, I'm sure you'll be happy with either of...
