speakers in a bad room
Dude, sound waves are sound waves. Pull out your physics book. Get a thick rug, fill a book shelf at the back of the room (with books), and buy some acoustical treatments to dampen the initial reflection points! 
poker anyone?
My set up is perfect-Liquor up front and poker in the rear! 
Basic HDTV Question?
Depends on what your local cable company offers. Here in RI Cox offers ESPNHD, HBOHD, INHD1, INHD2, DiscoveryHD, ShowtimeHD, and just recently the local NBC (which is actually not broadcast on the free airwaves yet).I still use my $300 Motorola HD... 
Music Download Purchases: What level of Fidelity?
RealRhapsody uses CDA files, which I am told are not compressed files like mp3's. 
Best 5 Channel amp to mate with Revel Speakers
Proceed's Amp5 is a good match for both the AVP and the Revel's. 
1080i ?
Edesilva-That's why I said "broadcasts." 
1080i ?
HDTV broadcasts are either 1080i or 720p 
best for home theater? revel or aerial acoustics?
Buying speakers is a personal decision. What do you think about how they sound? What do you think about the way they look? At this level they will all sound good. If you have not heard better, they are the best regardless of the magazine reviews o...

Rich:I have plenty of toys, so I'm not being critical of people for spending money. As Holzhauer said, "It's a hobby... enjoy...!"It was just an observation. Over the holidays I did a lot of internet reading with regard to audio equipment. Granted... 
Revel Studio or Revel Salon?
If it is not a question of money, it's easy. Go with the Salon's. Buy 'em used here for less than $10K. 
ideal room size
I have the book and have gone to various web models, but none of them talk about how to deal with the calculation for stadium seating. My 32'x15'8.5' room has 3 levels. At 15' it goes up 8" and at 21' it goes up another 8". I'd love to hear from s... 
Cable TV High Definition converter
Equal to or better than DVD? They better be better than DVD, 1080 vs 480 lines! 
Krell KAV 250 vs. Proceed HPA-2
I am using a HPA-2 with my 8b's and really enjoy the sound. I compared them to the Bryston, Krell, and Sherbourne. The Proceeds were more pleasing to my ears. 
Cable TV High Definition converter
I have also heard the compression comment. I use a cox cable converter (I think Motorola) for DiscoveryHD, ESPNHD, HBOHD, INHD1 & INHD2 and a Zenith OTA receiver for the networks and can not really tell the difference. In fact, it appears to m...
