money AND time. How do I get both?
Geez and I complain about my 68 hour weeks, that must really suck! I don't think I can help you, but I don't feel sorry for myself any more.Tim 
Totally Confused about home theater
Sean-Very good points, I think I agree with you that most people in HT today assume more is always better and that just isn't the case. I imagine that the room you where in could have sounded better, maybe if a few things had been removed and othe... 
Plasma Screens vs. Sony Grand Wega tri-LCD?
Not sure if you have considered the Loewe Aconda, but if I had to get a non projection unit that would be it. In your price range it seems a no brainer to me, if you can look into them I am sure you will be pleased.Tim 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Subaruguru-I can not testify either way about copper oxidation based on purity, because I don't know. I was pointing out that the very true copper is rareish, and I doubt used in a cable that costs that little, if you have a chance look at a jena ... 
Anybody willing to admit?

Recs for Small Footprint Audiophile System
Check out the Merlin VSM-ME, verity audio Parsifel encore or if you can swing them the Piega P10 would be my choice. All are excellent speakers that a person could live with for a very long time and don't take up much floor space.Tim
