    World War I veterans....

    Wow! What an intriguing thread! How about this: Someone who is alive today who used to meet someone who met someone who was alive during the Rovolutionary War meets a 5-year-old kid today who will live to be 105 years old and pass along his/her story to a 5-year-old kid? That would be in 2105!

    It's PAID! Not PAYED! PAID!

    I definately agree with everyone. Grammer is also important besides spelling. Two biggest pet peeves of mine.. heheh.

    Need some advice on buying first home....

    Alan, One very important factor you need to take into consideration as far as the time frame to purchase your first house is the interest rate. Right now, it's all-time record low in the history. You certainly can avoid PMI if you have 20% down. But the PMI won't be there for the whole...

    50XBR800 - Where to place center channel?

    Mary, I appreciate your advice. I will give it some serious thoughts. Yes, it does defeat the purpose of having 'plasma-like' look. But I can't compromise by sacrificing the sound quality either. Woo...what a problem! Thanks again!

    50XBR800 - Where to place center channel?

    At sonystyle.com guess where they place the tiny Center Channel in their Plasma showcase? Right on the floor in front of the TV stand! Yuckk.. :confused: Exactly, Bill, there has never been one single wire to be seen on such displays.

    50XBR800 - Where to place center channel?

    Shaun, thanks again for the suggestion. The speaker is so heavy that I wouldn't be comfortable letting the wall handle the weight (especially when Polk itself says against it). Placing the speaker on the stands behind the TV is perhaps impossible as the stands must be at least 60" tall (20"...

    50XBR800 - Where to place center channel?

    I appreciate your suggestion. I've tried the upward-tilt method. But due to the fact that the speaker was so close to the floor, the tilting didn't help much. The dialouge seems really non-directional (is this the right word??). It's clearly inferior to my current setup - placed directly on top...

    50XBR800 - Where to place center channel?

    This has really been bugging me. Where do you guys Grand Wega owners place your center channel? I've wanted to get the 50xbr800, but the unavailable space to place the center channel has put me off. Placing it on a mounted shelf is not an option as it's too heavy (manufacturer suggests not...
