Thanks Dave. SOLD!

Selling my Carada 96inch 16:9 Criterion Screen with the $43 Billiant White screen material option. Total retail $671 + 43 = $714 plus shipping. Only selling because I recently moved from NJ to CA and this wonderful frame/screen doesn't work in my new living room. Approx 1 year, mint condition...

I just replaced a 4 year old Toshiba 56H80 widescreen CRT HDTV with an Epson Cinema 500 LCD projector (and 96" screen)....everthing is so much better (in 720p)...DVDs, TV, football games, etc. It's in my living room with decent light control. The $300 bulb is rated to 3000 hours, or only 10...

8 foot viewing distance? I'd go with a ~57inch RPTV (you pick the technology that matches your tastes, budget, room-lighting).

Kevin, 32" 4:3 to 36" 16:9? A TV doesn't hold value like used amps :) I would save your money until the larger sets work out for you.

Andre, With the older 480i max analog RPTV's, you might see lines at 9' for a 56" set. However, when you're sending dvd/directv/cable signals that are 720p/1080i/480p, 9' is just about right. And at 11' & a 720p projector, some would say that a 96" screen is too small! There are...

Rich H, Thanks for the taking the time to do this (very informative). I need a 9-12 ft component video cable --- now instead of spending 40+, I just might pick up an Acoustic Research cable on ebay for 15 bucks (there are several other "generic" cables for less than 10 bucks).

Kevin, Is 34" from 8 feet big enough? Hhhmmm, I just replaced a 56" widescreen Toshiba HDTV (sitting 9 feet away) with an Epson Cinema 500 LCD projector shining on a 96" Carada 16:9 screen (sitting 11 feet away).....the four NFL playoff games this past weekend were a joy to watch in 720p...

Used Liteon LVD-2001 player in great condition. Composite and S-Video outputs don't seem to work, but why would you use them as this player outputs 1080i via the component video outputs. Supports DVD-Video/VCD/SVCD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R and includes MEPG-4(DivX Ver4 & 5)/MPEG-2/VCD/MPG Playback...

Ryan, I had the Stage One briefly (gorgeous in black even though silver is probably even better looking) but decided to buy a used Soundstage and upgrade it to the Stage One's digital section (probably less than 50 units upgraded). For my needs, giving up THX/Ultra2 processing and the tuner...

Looks matter, along with brand matching, size, and weight :) On bottom three shelves of my 5 shelf, open rack sit three Aragon Palladium II's (silver color), arranged with the V cut as Right, Left, Right. On the shelf above is an Aragon 8008x3 (black, no V); my Aragon Soundstage prepro...

The SR18 is a combination of the AV9000 prepro and the PM9000 150x5 amp. So you are saying that the 8200 and 8300 have the same preamp and amp section as these Marantz separates?
