Stereophile gave the Primus 150's an excellent review. I don't think you can beat them at the VANNS price. In this situation I don't see the necessity of surround sound. I would also question an HD plasma. Pretty pricey for your folk's taste. Is their vision and taste such that an EDTV plasma wouldn't be more appropriate? If the wieght and bulk aren't an overriding issue (doesn't sound like they will ever move whatever you get) a 34" CRT might be a better value. What is the distance they are going to sit from the screen. I think it is easy to get carried away with what we would like but it sounds like cost is #1. I'm still living with a 27" 480i tv and we get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It is the mains and center that make 85% of the difference in the experience. The sub is less relevent in many cases if you aren't watching action flicks.
