I should know better than to get into this, but I've found very few theaters that can present a movie as well as I can in my home. I have a dark room with big, comfortable leather chairs positioned 15 feet from a 61- inch Pioneer plasma HDTV. At the four corners I have four Polk tower speakers with 100 watt pre-amps plus a Polk center speaker below the screen and a Velodyne subwoofer. The broadcast comes from Direct TV via a 5Nb satellite dish that pulls down multiple signals from a variety of satellites. I also have an upsampling Panasonic DVD player. Blue Ray coming soon. The sound is processed by a 550 watt Pioneer five plus one surround sound receiver.Not everyone wants to spend on this kind of equipment for home entertainment. But my wife and I rarely leave the house for anything other than work. This is our entertainment. We took the money others spend on dinners and going out and put it into this room. So JCO has a point. But he should only make it once. As I intend to do. Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
