The Thiel 3.5 EQ works from 70 Hz down. The last I heard Thiel had some left at a cost of $600. IMHO, it's silly to have the 3.5's and not use the EQ. It even has different settings for 40 Hz and 20 Hz to adjust for smaller rooms. 
Tequila's turn?

BB.com currently has a 65" Panny plasma for $2300 w/ free shipping, tax is additional. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better value at that size.

Albert, no, but with those figures in mind, I'm thinking a 65" plasma will be a much better compromise than a 58". 
Tubes vs. solid state.
Bill, Thanks for the laugh!

"awful phase angle problems", perhaps with the wrong amplifiers.
