Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371
The Zu Droids sound like an interesting speaker. I havent auditioned them though. I have auditioned the other three however. If you like the Soliloquy sound, then I dont think you gain anything with the Usher 6300s series or the VS 4JRs.I have a b... 
103 inch plasma
This was unveiled at CES and there were two of them. They are very impressive I must say. You can be amazingly close and still not detect the pixel structure. The quality is far far above and beyond any and all Front Projectors I have ever seen. 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
My only comment is that the Hi Def DVDs being released are supposed to have Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 also as options and they should sound the same as SD dvd soundtracks.I have never had a complaint about the quality of current DVD soundtracks and re...

Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Actually analog outputs wont work. The internal ability to decode Hi Rez multi channel audio is clearly not present in any of the introduced soon to be introduced players.This has been discussed in detail within the past two weeks.Essentially, bec... 
Best pair of $ 1500 speakers to match with Rotel?
Well if you can get Merlins for 1500 that would be quite the score.If you dont want to spend all the money and since you mentioned internet direct brands, far and away the best pair out there are the Ascend 340SEs. Its a 30 day trial in your home ... 
Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas?
Stuff goes wrong with plasmas all the time though- piece of mind has value as well--and the production QA control is not as consistent as you think in many factories.Even though I didnt buy one, doesnt mean I cant see the other side on this issue. 
Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas?
Heres my 2...1. Use a credit card that doubles the manufacturers warranty. The base warranty on decent plasmas really should be one and one, not 90 days and one.2. Bad Pixels on Plasmas are usually bad from the git go' pixels almost never go bad d... 
Panasonic th-50px60u plasma -vs- Sony kds-r50xbr1?
I would suggest visiting avsforum.com which is a very active forum particularly on the displays you mention.

Upcoming plasma 1080p tv's vs Sony SXRD LoCS?
OP- No need to apologize. Actually I believe the discussion will guide others with similar questions to looking at things closely. Thats why we are all here- at least partly.Audio-Girl; I have no interest in convincing you of something. Its just t... 
Upcoming plasma 1080p tv's vs Sony SXRD LoCS?
Henry- you are exactly right. The price drop really makes it difficult for a new technology to be rolled out since they gotta compete with stuff thats been out awhile and has seen falling prices. 
Upcoming plasma 1080p tv's vs Sony SXRD LoCS?
Certainly an interesting discussion. Plasma, LCD, and CRT are direct view technologies, while LCosS ( Sony SXRD and JVC D-ILA), DLP and LCD-P are projection technologies. I prefer direct view for PQ at this point becuase it gives more realism to m... 
Upcoming plasma 1080p tv's vs Sony SXRD LoCS?
Thanks for your reply Dalton. You are welcome to disagree. Black levels alone dont make for PQ as you are saying. But then you say that your CRT has a better PQ, basically saying that the better black levels on a CRT give it better PQ? I've seen a...
