Agreed, and thanks, Alan. It's funny - my father in law has been willing to spend quite a pretty penny to get his home theater the way that he wants it. It's amazing where he blew his wad (TV, interconnects, speaker wire), but skimped on some other stuff (Bose mini-cubes, cheap components). I will try to talk to him about getting in ISF tech in the house, but I don't know how far I'll get him to go. The tendancy of course is to want to stop the bleeding. He thought he was investing abotu 10 grand to buy a new TV set. He forgot about the 350 installation charge, the $500 tv mount, $800 in interconnects and speaker cable (despite my advice to the contrary) and other associated headaches with getting HDTV in his living room.
I don't know how keen he'll be on the idea - maybe that will be a Christmas gift or something to him. I'll have his set calibrated.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'll let you know how it turns out.
