Do an A/B comparison on the audio and you WILL notice a difference. The dynamic range is amazing. The regular 'ol DD or DTS tracks may sound "louder" but that is because of the compression used, but they won't have the same dynamic range as the lossless tracks.

I'm pretty happy with my 50" HDTV, but if the wife ever gives me the go ahead, I would upgrade to a projector. I shouldn't complain as she gave me the go ahead on the M80s (in the very near future).

My wife was recently out of town and I indulged in the same activities with the same supplies as you....good times. Back in the day I would have hit the bars...upgrading to HDTV, 7.1 audio and blu-ray has really domesticated me.
