That is hardly a reasonable comparison, since it is not widescreen. To show a movie the same size as on a 36" widescreen, a 4:3 TV would hve to be 40", something that does not exist in a tube.

Since when?:confused: Show me any 36" tv, and I will show you a 20" that costs a lot less (in most cases from the same manufacturer.)

As in the bait question that the OP asked and the bait statement that you made?:rolleyes:

Biwiring has no audible effect whatsoever. As in zip, nada. Biamping can have some slight benefit in some situations.

I might have expected a slight but audible difference. I would definitely not have expected a difference worthy of a "wow", though.

I read the other day that the return rate for flat panels generally is around 2%-3%, as compared to 18% for RPTVs. Apparently, they are all pretty reliable.

I partially agree, except that 20" is just too small. Make a 32" and I'm for it. I used a 2-channel system for movies for years before getting my first surround system, and it was more than adequate.

The Azur 340A (and the matching Azur 340C.:))

As it turns out, I bought both a new CD player and a new integrated amp. As they are the same size, I was able to put the amp on top. This eliminates the heat issue and adds stability to the CDP in the bargain.

I just gave away an old Carver integrated. The new Cambridge Audio integrated I replaced it with sounds vastly better. Lower distortion, more detail, better imaging, better bass control, and lower noise floor.

I have never really thought about it in those terms, but I think you are onto something here. Either side can go to extremes, but checks and balances keep things rational.

I agree with your friend on both counts. I had some Klipsch Reference bookshelves. The bass was awesome for the size, but I had to give them up because the brightness was more than I could stand.

I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance here, as a result of seeing Jamo and Yamaha speakers mentioned together as if they were comparable. Jamo speakers are vastly better.

Nah, I have only spent around $1500 in the last couple of months.:D

I seriously considered becoming a Canadian citizen when Dubya was reelected. I don't care which Democrat wins, but I don't think we can take another four years of a Republican president.

The S30 bookshelves are on their way, along with some really sweet looking stands. Multiple 5-star reviews. I am certain that they will be an enjoyable listen. Whether or not they can replace my Mirage towers remains to be seen (if not, I will hang on to them for those times when I want to hear...

I have been wishing for a matching pair oc Cambridge Audio Azur components for some time now, so I bought them. Tomorrow, I buy the matching bookshelf speakers.

I need to visit Wendy's and try one. Sounds good.

One remote for the stereo. Three for the HT, but it is only the one for the DVD player that I actually use 99.9% of the time.

I got them last night, and I needn't have worried. The sound is simply amazing. My immediate impression was of Koko the gorilla with his pet kitten: brute force under absolute control. Detail, soundstage, and bass tightness are all present and accounted for. Build quality is first rate (I have...
