I read that and wasn't sure what to think about "telly vision" than I saw where you were from... I just giggled a little... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!!!

Pictures are required for you now. Any plans for the audio yet?

I too am about to make the giant leap into true HT, I have a 32" lcd HDTV, but my audio is lacking horribly. As I was watching the Ratatouille Blu-Ray my ears hurt as the horrible HTIB rang in my ears. Today my search for a wonderous DIY HT 5.1.

any help?

I picked up an HD A2 a week ago, very nice player. Make sure to upgrade the firmware right away.

Get some decent surround sound to match that TV and you'll be set...

Gladiator is 6.1, so to truly experience it you need a rear center channel....

i'd rather have a great 2.2 than a normal/cheap 6.1 IMHO, IIRC a good 6.1 system is expensive, one of my friend have a POLK HTIB 6.1 or 7.1 and it gets loud but SQ is mediocre and the sub doesnt dip low at all..... and payed 1k ...

but i see what you mean, the effects are nice with a surround.... but it's just isnt THAT important compared to clarity at high volume IMO

My 2.1 is plenty fine for me.

Are you serious? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Indeed... Unless you have a dedicated HT room where you can arrange everything perfectly with out compromise then 5.1 is the most I would go.
