Upgrading HT..not a first timer but please help?

BTW, Pix is AR's whipping boy so go ahead and give him a kick. He loves his role. If we didn't abuse him he wouldn't feel loved.

Regarding the TV watching area, while it does have some light (like any room I'd imagine), it's not a huge amount of light, and no direct light. I actually opened a new thread to discuss that since it's sort of off topic of this original post.

see Plasma or LCD..some ambient light BUT also some off angle viewing

If you don't mind, could you take a look at that thread and click on the link with pictures? It may help describe the room better and may affect answers.

Oh yea, and no video games.. just basic TV, sports, and movie watching.

Thanks all!

Here are a couple of things that might interest you: (1) a very cheap but nice looking TV stand available from Sears for $50. It's only 4 feet wide, however, and rather low. It is Tech Craft Flat Panel TV Stand, model #SBF48. I bought one a couple of weeks ago.

(2) I just noticed a press release for a line of Axiom "on wall" speakers being introduced in May. They are very shallow. Axiom speakers are, generally speaking, good values, but not inexpensive. I have Axiom speakers in two HT setups. Go to axiomaudio.com. Edit: The product announcement for the speakers I mentioned, I now see, is listed in a side box at the right in this very forum.
