How to use my old B&W's with my new big screen??

I just run cables from the analogue outputs on the TV [52 Panny Plasma] to standard inputs on an audio amplifier. Pick up a NAD integrated amp with remote and connect your speakers to it and thats it. I have not found that with Direct TV shows have the same sound. "The Mentalist " has really exceptional sound but many others don't. In general, home theater receivers are built to less exacting standards than home audio, not surprising considering the vastly increased complexity. So I prefer the KISS approach. I think that Audio Advisor is closing out some of the NADs for $299.

Put me down as one who strongly dislikes the sound of movie theaters and avoids it at home. Since I find analogue superior to digital despite having $10k worth of CD players I doubt if a receiver would produce a sound I would care for. A friend of mine is using the receiver approach with B&Ws. I find mine sounds better. If you have an amp now hook it up as I suggest and see what you think.
