| Dispersion panels question Thanks guys - I'll look into the links posted above.Lustformusic: 9ft - WOW! The "more space" behind will have to wait until I move in a couple of years, but I was glad to hear the dispersion panels contributed to the image quality.ZD542: I decide... | |

| Audio grade USB cables I bought a dual cable on ebay for $58 that allowed me to add a seperate power supply - solved the problem.Regards | |
