Hi Ray,
Thanks for the feedback. Initially, I was going to wait until the new models came out and then start my search. However, the price I am getting on this 50" is very hard to resist. If I had purchased this t.v. with the matching stand when they were first introduced, the price would be about $2,000 more than what I am paying today. Plus, I can get my Denon receiver, VP100, CD changer, DVD player and VCR in the t.v. stand with room left over for a HD receiver/tuner. Over the years I have purchased electronics and t.v.'s from the store I am dealing with and they always give me great deals! My old 32" Sony is going into the master bedroom and the new Samsung 14" will be relocated to my son's room.
It might be a while now before a pair of QS8's and a sub arrive...
