    Component video cables

    sorry, but i am a bit of a newb still. just so i completely understand, when it comes to "Standard Definition" component has only a slight advantage over s-video. so if i am running a SD dvd player to my PJ, it won't really matter whether its Component or S-video, correct? thanks! sorry...

    My integrated Home Theater.

    No i don't have a MTX sub right now. my distributor carries them so i can get a pretty good deal on them. i was thinking of getting one for my living room to replace my old cheap klh (which sounds really good for $ and has lasted me for 6 years).

    My integrated Home Theater.

    Looks like a nice setup. did you replace the MTX 12" w/ the Sony 10" ? if you did, was there something wrong w/ the MTX (blown sub, bad sound)?

    Vizio T.V.s- any thoughts?

    i installed one for a customer ( i think it was a 42" or 50" plasma) after setting up the cable box correctly and being connected with a nice set of component cables, it looked great! Vizio makes nice low/mid grade plasmas and lcds for very good prices.
