My Home Theater System....upgrades.
I'd say first better improvements of significance, regarding equipement upgrades are going to be making sure you have ALL MATCHING SPEAKERS in the system, THAT ARE PROPERLY SET UP FOR BEST SOUND! (Maximizing). HOWEVER, two most effective aspects y... 
Floor Standing or In Wall speakers
"Acoustic theory suggests very strongly that they should sound much better."(Shadorne on in-walls).Some acoustical theory suggests that a flush mounted inwall speaker has acoustical advantages, in regards to speaker to boundary frequency cancellat... 
Projectors?
You can find $800 for Optoma H70 for 720p, Panasonic AE100 for similar - if you look - and similar in Sanyo PLV-Z4 on the market. Any of these would be superb, you'd have no complaints, stellar pic, and save bucks (you could even do the cheep, but... 
active professional monitors for HT
Yeah, to keep it simple, especially since it's an HT system mainly, you could consider the active Mackies, and they're likely going to do the job with as much guts as most anything. 
HT Proc. with 5.1 analog in, under 1k, good sound?
If you can find an old Acurus Act 3, that's been factory upgraded to Aragon Stage 1 DAC's, JUMP ON IT!!! You probably can find one for $1000 if you put in wanted adds, and searches. They are REALLY REALLY rare, and hard to find. Infact, people don... 
Why are LCDs more popular than plasma?
My experience is that the Plasma's tend to do black better (critical, to me), and all but the Toshiba LCD's are comparable. Other lcd's, including Sharp's to me leave little to be desired. For me, at entry price, I recommend the cheap Visio Plasma... 
Best rock song of all times
yeah, Jonny B, for me.. 
Best Speakers For Arcam HT Rig?
Arcam HT amp? Do you mean Arcam receiver or Separates?If the former, you sould consider sticking with higher sensitivity and efficiency designs, to keep dynamics up! I certainly wouldn't look at 85-86 db designs with a receiver, even though you WI... 
At $5,000.....any thoughts?
yes, he did. Sorry to say, I don't think he'll be upgrading. I think the Doc is set with here audio perfection...guess I'll have to get a life now. 
At $5,000.....any thoughts?
Well, looks like I'm the only one still interested in this thread. I was hoping we could get the doc to throw out all here new audio equipment, and maybe try some some other things instead. Guess that's not going to happen, as everyones given up o... 
Speaker Preferences?
Yeah, I tell you what I'd like to see from at least Wilson and Revel, is some "ACTIVE" speaker offerings! Dynamics for such clear, detailed, and uncolored sounding speakers would/should be off the charts for ANY source material. I still feel this ... 
Crossover-less Speakers
I was very pleased with my old Sonus Electa Amators and Minima Amators of past. They used a very minimalist crossover, which yeilded very good damping of the drivers, and thus a very dynamic pressentation! Only problem was that these speakers were... 
At $5,000.....any thoughts?
Commmmmmmon folks! Let's keep this thread going! It's so much fun. Really!Can't we think of other options that might have been used here? More are coming to my mind every day - which is good. Cause there's not much there usually.anyone else care t... 
Denon's new Blu-Ray player
I pesonally don't get people "waiting" here. I mean, for a couple/few hundo's, you can have HD! What's up? 
At $5,000.....any thoughts?
Yep, great job Dave. I'm sure she's plenty happy with the system, and with your friendship. Let's indeed DO get here posting on the site, so we can see some pics and such, and maybe some insight from the good doc on what it sounds like, looks like...
