We've been dealing with a local Sound Advice store (part of Tweeters) and the salesman has made two suggestions to us.

For a Plasma unit either the Pioneer Elite PRO910HD (which he has in an open box at 20% discount) or the PRO1000HD. I've looked at the specs and the 910 looks like more capability and better video. Either one (43" or 50") will fit in our room.

We were looking at Monitor speakers but he suggested the Artison speakers that attach to the side of the Plasma and have a grill cover that matches the Plasma unit. Visually this would be much better in our room but I can't evaluate the sound (except from their web site).

Any thoughts on either of these two items?

We're also looking at a Yamaha receiver (either the RXV 1400 or the 750 which he claims is virtually the equivalent of the 1400 for about $150 less). Thoughts here would also be appreciated.
