About to purchase the Kef LS50W speaker want opinions about set up....
Thanks for the report! A good friend listened too them last weekend and was blown away! Until he told me about them. I didn't know they existed. LolI've been reading as much as I can on the easiest way to feed them. I'm probably going to start wit...

My First OverHead Projector
A used JVC Hd250 on videogon is a terrific deal! 
Inexpensive All-In-One Solutions
Would they mind ripping their CDs/DVD/Blu rays to hard drive? If not I can't think of anything better than the Himedia 900b. You can find them on Ebay through a seller in Hong Kong. There's also one in the UK.I plan to use one of these with my JVC...

Projector question
I agree with you on the 8350 to a certain extent Avgoround. I honestly never found the image to have that pop you describe. For 1200 its a good unit with great flexibility. But one can do much better for not a whole lot more money.The HD65 is anot... 
Projector question
For $1500 you can pick up a refurb Benq w6000 or a Mitsubishi hc4000 for a $1000. The Epson is nice..The Benq throws a better image. 
Want to buy a new projector.
Be careful with the current JVCs.The RS50s are known to have lamp life and brightness issues. A lot of the owners are dumping them for something else. If you like DLP..then a Sharp ZX17000, Benq W6000, Vivitek H5080 or Infocus SP8602 are your best...

recording shows from cable TV?
Riley804..nailed it. Win7 PC with a tuner card or HDHomerun and a external HD will do exactly what you're asking. I do it all the time. 
Blu-ray vs HD digital?
I would add a Blu ray drive and ATI video card that allows bit streaming to a HTPC(Home Theater PC). This way you can play your BRs directly or you can use it for streaming network movies and shows.you can also use it as DVR for OTA or cable TV.Th... 
Blu-ray vs HD digital?
Yup there are several ways. You can use MakeMKV or DVD FAB to rip a complete copy to hard drive. Then use Media player Classic Home Cinema or something like Power DVD. If using across a network, it would be better to use hard line Ethernet. Becaus... 
What is the best way to add video processing?
The simplest and cheapest way to do this is add a HDMI switcher. Mono price carries some nice ones and they back up their products with great customer service.The processing part would be a breeze using a HTPC for your DVD and Bluray playback. The...
