Peter, look at this one and the 65" model will seem reasonable. There's only one in stock, so I'm going to buy it now before Adrian tries to.

I guess that our renos are not that significant when considering that our house is probably worth the ridiculous market price of $600K or more - about 3X the price that we paid in 1996. At the moment, there are a couple of waterfront houses across t

Huh. If you mouse over the 55-inch preview picture and the 65-inch preview picture, it looks like the only difference is that the 65-inch TV has smaller speakers and a smaller stand. I'd go with the 55-inch model.

Thanks for the responses. @JohnK, you interpreted my question correctly. Thanks for clarifying. With the 180 center, how far from the wall does it need to be? Since it is 17" deep, if it is recommended to be 24"+ from the wall, it doesn

Pioneer's MCACC actually has a mode where it can just measure the left and right speaker, and then EQ the rest to try to sound like them. Or as John says it can make each speaker target an ideal response (individually or as pairs).

If by "impotent" you mean do these room correction systems lower the capability of the better speakers to "match" the lesser ones, nothing of the sort occurs. Within limits, they modify the response of each speaker individually to

Mac, welcome. The basic 8 ohm rating of the 1522 is 130 watts. As always, the amount of power needed by a speaker depends on how loudly you play it. The M80 and VP180 are slightly above average in sensitivity and require a bit less power for a given
