Well I ended up getting the LSi25 and LSiC (first ebay purchase of LSiC came broken and got refunded second was good) For surrounds I am using some old Pair of Fischer speakers that I had been using in the garage and for back surrounds I am using the polks I used to use for front RT55I

Doh I forgot to budget for the best speaker cables never realized it got this expensive. I need to get me some of this and this. Now my system is going to sound like poop until i get these. For HDMI cable looks like this is the thing to get only I will need to get 2 and a joiner to go...

Well I found a LSi C on Ebay for 315 obo so I just jumped on it. (had 4 offers on it already) and ordered the LSi25s from Polk So in all I will have L/R LSi25 and LSi C for $1414 with shipping. Not bad considering that is about the retail of just on speaker. Just hope the wife isn't to...

I am not sure who or where it was but in my perusal and research looking thru forums I have read some people speak strongly about dislike of Polk. Nothing near the talk of bose. When I was a kid my parents had a pair of these SDA SRS speakers and they were pretty bad ass. Besides the Factory...

Here is what I am thinking I will do. (Might just go ahead and order the sable screen for $300 so it is home when I get there. Will install the 120" screen. If the screen is bad or to big I can always get a nicer screen or go smaller and wont be out much $$. Or if it is just to big for my...

Funny that of all the people localy (from various areas all over the world) I appear the only one to be bothered by it. Some even like it. ICK. So there is no way to get rid of it just have to not by a LCD tv myself?

I don't know if it is the settings or even it is something to do with the broadcast or it is just due to the display tech. Hoping someone here with more knowledge can enlighten me. I work in Asia (Live in the US) On the LED LCD tvs here all the shows/movies have this picture quality that the...

I am planning on going to 7.1 If I do 2 rows starting at 10' that would put me in the sweet spot and I like a bigger screen and someone can sit in the "back" if they like a shorter difference... Wouldn't be as nice for the surround sound but I am only one that cares about that :) So 120" is...
