Home Entertainment Show in SF in November 2004
Right, Nickatkins, both shows were planned from the get-go. 
need help with old receivers tone controls
Those are probably 'hinge' points where the roll-offs begin. 
what is the best way to deal w/ an asymnetrical ..
I second the suggestion that you get CARA and use it before investing in any more hardware. It should tell you what you want to know: why the system sounds the way it does now and how it will sound if you move/add components/room treatment. 
Bigger is Better...
After my deliberations and investigations, I ended up with the Fujitsu 50", in part because of the contrast ratio which is, I believe, analogous to dynamic range in audio: the range from darkest to brightest. This 50" uses Panasonic glass, which i... 
Naxos, the way to go for classical?

Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ?
The JT cut was the last song from "Dad Loves his Work." 
Cinepro system at HI FI 2004
Same as at HES2003 in SF. This time, I chose not to suffer the outrageous SPLs and stayed away. 
Wish List DVD-A - SACD combo player

Two preamps in your system
