Plasma TV reviews
they are getting cheaper and better,however they ain't all the way yet.Starting at 15grand the largest is only about45inches,maybe 50 but that is small if you are watching reg.tv as 4.3(reg tv)leaves the ends of the screen blank.And there is a lot... 
Progressive Scanning
To utalizePro.scan Dvd you need HDTV.The standard scan rate for reg.tv is 15.HDTV the scan rate is 31.End of story.And lets get real; HBO's sat brodcast in hd KILLS what you see on dvd.

Best disc on DVD for audio?
Ditto for Hell Freezes Over,my next is a tie: JT live at the Beacon,and just as close Clapton-unplugged.If you have a good 2channel system they sound better in 2ch. To me ss is for movies.

Does speaker cable length really matter?
Impedences/voltage and resistances outputs vary. Check with the mfg of your amp Generally shorter runs sound better and naturally they cost you less. My guess 1/3rd longer a run is not a good thing;unless you got it free/cheap.Or if room set up di... 
CD Transports with AES/EBU Digital Bal
Lots of folks ask a question but don't give enough information as to the other pieces that are important. (in your case) Are you running a complete balanced set up? I assume yes,If not there is actually a slight neg (they just don't sound as good)... 
Center needed in small rooms ?
Generally I would say yes.I underdtand I haven't been in your room.But the center speaker adds to the experiance.I assume you have a pro logic, dd or dd,dts processor.I also assume you are using a by-pass mode. It helps greatly.Also as a side beni...
