    Sub question

    Hi i decided to go with the SVS 20-39 PCi Cylinder Sub. I have heard good things about it and that it is great for movies which is what i want it for. I have never really owned a real SUB besides the Sub that came with my Panasonic HTIB. So hopefully this SVS is a definite step up.

    HD-DVD choice

    I have a Samsung 1080p HS-5087W. I want a HD-DVD player but would something like the XA-1 look good at only out putting 10801. Or would it be a waist. I just don't want to spend that kind of money for the XA-2 just because it out puts 1080p. Would i even notice the difference on a 50inch...
