I bought a cheap Panasonic 42" plasma as a secondary TV and I can't believe how good the picture is.

Plasma also handles motion better than LCD, by a long shot. They are energy hogs though.

on standby, my Kuro uses 32 Watts, and running averages at about 185 Watts. if you check your LCD's, you'll see that a plasma is not an energy hog compared to them.

True, the gap between is always narrowing - on both sides of the fence. Out of pure random curiosity, how much energy can a sub draw when belching out canon shots and the like? I love that the Sub2 can be configured for a 240V line to achieve maximum output. Nothing like overkill - still, if I had the means....

a few weeks ago i watched Master and Commander on DVD and afterwards checked my Blue Planet Watt meter. the loudest parts were cannon shots, i believe.
the max Wattage was 605 Watts, but this includes the front and back speakers (amps) who also were contributing to the sound, and more importantly, my Hafler amp is not as efficient as the sub's amp or the QSC.
the loudest i've heard was the tripod coming out at the beginning of WOTW; at the time, i had set the sub's gain by ear on tv programs, which proved to be about 6 dB hot.
when the tripod put it's foot down, the sound coming out of the sub was so loud that after resisting the idea for a couple of minutes, i could not refrain from getting up and checking to see if there was a hole in the floor in the vicinity of the sub. floor was ok, and the sub did not bottom, but i was shaken and had to take a breather. it must have been near the max output.

Another vote for the Panasonic plasma, we've had a 42" Panasonic plasma hanging on our bedroom wall for several years now and the picture is as good as the day we bought it. This is our second plasma, the original Sony didn't last nearly as long as the Panasonic.

often, the Sony's are overrated in people's minds because they often cost more than the direct competition; so people think "if it costs more, then they must be better".
answer: false.
