Bravia KDL46-NX810 vs Samsung UN46C8000XF
I bought a Sony 60 inch LCD about 8 months ago and could not be happier. Interestingly, Sony seems to have some strange exclusive relationship with Costco with certain size TV's, since my "high end" local dealer could not actually get the 60 inche...

recording shows from cable TV?
so, if I buy a DVD-recorder, I would just take the signal out from the cable box, then go into the DVD recorder, then go into the TV? Isnt the cable box smart enough to stop my ability to record certain channels?

need something to replace built in LCDTV speakers?

Is there some type of significant sound or video advantage to using for example a $1200 Integra processer as opposed to as $1200 receiver from Denon and just use the pre-outs on the Denon to hook up my McIntosh mutlichannel amp. I would just be us...

Used Made in America amps - multichan under $1200?
