Rivals for B&W 805 Signature in small rooms?
Bluebull, I know the (basic) differences of the new line, that is - new crossover, new LF diaphragms, modified cabinet and diamond tweeter, where applicable...this is what Kal has posted anyway from the info he has. 
Rivals for B&W 805 Signature in small rooms?
Avguru, with all due respect to your reliable insider, two people have quoted from the recent B&W release in which the 802D is included; also, the N803 can be had in either N803D or N803. As for the new Diamond tweeter "smoking" the signature ... 
TV Picture diffenences between HD and non HD
I do not have HD, yet, but I purchased a large (52" DLP) TV two weeks ago and I can say it can be a love / hate thing. I really like viewing with a large screen, but bad signals look really bad, as all things are much bigger, obviously; I use Dish... 
Rivals for B&W 805 Signature in small rooms?
Hi Chris, I am aware that the Signature series does not have the diamond tweeter, what I said was that the Signature series uses a different tweeter over the Nautilus series, so the N805, and new N805S, does not have the same tweeter as the S805. ... 
Rivals for B&W 805 Signature in small rooms?

Wh, you are on the right track and I highly recommend doing exactly what you suggest for several reasons. Like you, I didn't know diddly about video, I am getting a crash course; it would of been nice to have had someone here to do setup, give me ...

Me too. 
What are your favorite monitors?
Wh, nope, not interested, mentioned in passing; Srajan's word would mean more though...you say the same about each piece you own (owned). 
DishNetwork 811 HD receiver
...I just found out about the model 921, that is the one I now realize I would be interested in. But, either way, anyone with experience with either.

Well I didn't seem to waste to much time researching, like I usually do; I purchased the 52" Mitsu, but the 52725 instead of the 52525 listed above. Time will tell how much I like using such a TV, I brought it home today and hooked it up, the Dish...

Gee Warren, a big TV is only good for DVD? Why wouldn't one want a big picture no matter what the source? (I did not say I am purchasing the Sony, reread.)

Hi Tvad,No doubt my local stereo shop is higher than what I could find pricing for on the 'net. I did watch both their HDTV signals and regulaer sat. feed, though their sat. feed is terrible becuase they can only get one feed and it is split many ...
