i would get the speakers first also.... with the 25" tv that you already have, you can now be envloped in the movie/tv that you are watching.. and like bridgman said, the price of tv's is always coming down, i would wait untill the lcd/plasmas that are 1080p are out that you can afford.. then you would have the best tv that you can have, and a very nice speaker system to go with it. that is what i would do...
