You need to decide what size you want first. That's always what I've done. I look at an area, and then I think "Yep, I want a 55 inch" Then that's the route I go. I'd go with the larger if that's what you want. I think you'll be happy with any Panasonic you buy. I've been very happy with...

IMO, you can't go wrong with any Panasonic Plasma. I've got 3 of them, 1 of them is about 6 years old and still looks great. Also, for 1500...if you do some research, a 60, or 65 inch (if you don't mind a model that's a year or two old) is within your range. If you don't have to have it now...

Thanks for the suggestions. I"m actually a Vols fan who lives in Indy for 5 more days and then moving to NW Indiana (70 miles from Chicago, farmland area). I keep season tickets, but man the drive is going to suck now. I've got a 65 inch Plasma...projection isn't an option for me just yet...

The house I'm moving into (at least for now) is part of a compensation package for a job I'm taking. The room really isn't set up for a projector. For now, I'll stick with the 65 inch plasma. I do plan on watching sports, etc in there...I'll have two TV's mounted on either side of my main TV...

That's what I'm trying to decide. Whatever I choose has to look okay with a white ceiling. I'm thinking a dark red with a cherry chair rail, and a neutral color (vanilla, etc) on top. I saw a picture of a room that was basically all vanilla and it had the movie posters up, and they really...

I'm going to start this by saying I'm a HUGE Tennessee Volunteers football fan. My current mancave is a UT Mancave. So I'm moving into a new house in a week, and I've already been up and done all the wiring, etc. It's prepped to be put in. Room is 13 wide by 21 feet long. I had planned on...

Not sure what those costs are (lazy has kicked in this morning) but you can get the Pioneer Elite SC55 for 1K now. Solid piece, and shouldn't need upgraded for a while.

Since it's not my money...do a google search for Pioneer Elite SC-55. They are down to 999 now (new models coming out) and that thing is a freaking beast. For just 275 more I'd go that route on the receiver. I like the decision on the speakers. That's essentially what I have and I love...

The good news about this place is someone will actually tell her this. People see "Sony Blu-Ray Surround Sound" and think it's awesome. I made that mistake years ago. Since then I've wised up. But yeah, dropping that kind of coin on everything else, you can't have that little system. It'll...

I'm moving in a few weeks, sold off my old junky furniture. Went into a Family Leisure (formerly Watson's) and found out that they had a lot of their Berline stuff marked way down (Berkline went out of business). I bought the 3 seat San Diego set for 799 bucks. That's a freaking steal. So if...

3 of the 4 last TV's I have purchased were refurbed or open box/floor models. All 3 Plasma's. 2 of them I bought within a month of each other 6 years ago, still going strong. The other was a 65 inch Plasma and it's almost 2 years old, no issues. Lower priced items I'll buy new because the...

Inspect the TV before you sign off on it. Open up the box and make sure nothing looks damaged in shipping. After that I think their rules is 30 days...and then you have the normal 1 year warranty, but if you have any issues out of the box notify them ASAP and you shouldn't have an issue.

I'm not saying Pioneer Elite is the only one you should look at, but if you're going to drop 600 bucks on a Pioneer Receiver, just look into their Elite stuff. Better quality than their normal retail products and many more bells and whistles. More durable too. Panasonic makes several 60...

I would match my 3 front speakers. Some would say to match them all 5 or 7, but I'd definately do that. Your want your timbre to be even. With those monitor 70's I'd look at this speaker for the center. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290212 Also, your viewing area...

You can't beat direct ordering when you get that pricing. I have a friend who works in auditing for them and I've bought my last three Panasonic TV's through him and got his pricing. You simply can't beat it. Right now my main TV is a TCP65S2 and it looks as clear now as it did when I got it...

On the receiver, does it have to be brand new or are you willing to look at refurbed/owned?

You'll like the Polk Setup, it's basically the same one I have. Those Monitor speakers are good speakers. For the rear, I'd go with the bookshelf as opposed to two more towers, simply because of the use (or lack thereof) they will get. Unless you like listening to music in Stereo. Also, you...

Agreed. I love the system I have now and he can get it for 1800 easy.

LMAO...big typo! And yeah, I was just saying :)

For what you are doing, probably not. But, at basically 120 each (those Polk Monitor 50's)...I'd spend 240 vs 150 between them. That's just my .02....and my Sony's have done me well, so I don't want to bag on them. Just a personal preference.

If you've not consistently listened to a setup that is 5000 grand plus, you don't know what you are missing. So I guess it depends on what "limitation" means.

Polk based on reputation alone. Post links or specs and I may change my mind. Let me hear them and I may give you a different answer again. I have a somehwat similar set of polk speakers and I love them. I also have the older version of those Sony you posted (just sold them) and they...

Are you completely hung up on those two receivers? Like Gene said, if you are spending upwards of 1800, I might avoid that. The Pioneer Elite SC55 has dropped in price down to 1K now. I think that's solid for a new purchase and you shouldn't have to upgrade anytime soon. That leaves you 800...

Jeff...did you ever make a decision?

Here it is with free shipping on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-Elite-VSX-23TXH-7-1-Channel-770-Watt-Receiver-/150809978341?pt=Receivers_Tuners&hash=item231cf9a5e5 As long as you are US, Canada and Austrailia.

I have a VSX-23TXH and it's wonderful. You can probably still find it new somewhere for near this. http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Channel-Digital-Theater-Receiver/dp/B002KBDEGE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336585858&sr=8-1

One like I linked you should not. You could run all your stuff into the switch, and then one line to your TV (or into your receiver, however you prefer).

As you start to expand, you will regret buying a compact HTiB. Althought something like mccambly posted wouldn't be bad. You might ask around here what are some receivers that people have that they like and look for a used receiver. Same even with the speakers. You could end up with a really...

Don, If you don't have a receiver, etc...then I'd look at something like this http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=4088&seq=1&format=2 That way if you ever pick up another device that runs HDMI, you have a few extra slots. You can get one...
