I purchased some high end denmark speakers from some guys in a white van. They said they had a couple extra pairs and that they retail for around 3 grand a pair, they showed me some magazines with them in it and they said they won some awards. I have them running off a 1000 watt JVC that I purchased at Wal-Mart in the open box section and I purchased the better rca's for 25 dollars instead of the cheaper 10 dollar ones. My question is since I have such a high end stereo should I match it up with just a cheap walmart tv or should I really go high end with that dell tv that they are advertising? And should I buy a HD or a P.L.A.S.M.A.? Won't the liquid pour out when they are shipping if I get the Dell or do I fill it when it arrives?

Don't let anyone rip you off in refilling the plasma juice!! Wal-Mart sells it in the cake mix section for WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less than Monster does.

here are the problems i see with this post:
1) white van speakers
2) 1000 watt JVC receiver
3) wal-mart

these typically aren't 3 aspects of high end-equipment. (nothing against wal-mart, i like them)

He had me for approximately 2 seconds. Nobody with that handle could be THAT stupid about audio... high end or otherwise. Pretty hilarious though... Plasma juice....

I always drain out my plasma and replace it with some better stuff. I'm using the new "Gullibledale Research Black Plasma" at the moment. Really yields a image depth that I've only experienced in plasma costing 5 times more (Spunkenheiden, F.U. Labs). That or some good homemade Tapioca Pudding. Oh, and mix in about a cup of antifreeze. People are always giving me hell in these forms for the antifreeze, saying that its just psychovisual effect, but I still think it brings out the blue in Bob Barkers eyes. I'd also recommend a good sub with those towers. Wal-Mart was selling a killer Soundesign sub for $1.89 a while ago. That or snag a used Fisher Price off Ebay.

I would just like to thank everyone on this review that responded to my questions as all of them were helpful in one way or another. It either showed that you could take a joke or that the gains on your common sense were turned all the way down. COME ON. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOME OF YOU GUYS REALLY WASTED YOUR BREATH FOR A SERIOUS RESPONSE ON THAT. But I think circuit city also has a forum for those of you.

My TV leaks. Does can anyone recommend a good sealant? My friend recommended the radiator stuff at PepBoys diluted with keosene. Does this work?

Now I wish we had not sold all that plasma for beer money in college. We would have plenty for those leaky sets. :cool:

I have founf that HD 60 weight oil is best for replacing the plazma juice. But it can leave a messy build-up on the injectors. Spray a little WD40 or electrolite in the tips and they'll be fine.
If that guy in the van comes around again please send him my way. I've been looking to upgrade my system.
