I'm all for getting the best bang for my buck. I've done some research thus far, and to my eye the Vizio seems to be a pretty nice unit for the money. However if there's something near that price range that I ought to look at I'm all ears. I can't see myself spending much more than a grand though, as I'm not a real big TV watcher in the first place. We all have to scale down somewhere, and my music system will always prevail over video, simply because I listen to music far more often than watching the tube. That said I have decided to join the ranks of the BFTV croud. But if anyone wants to steer me elsewhere for similar $ by all means I'm open minded.

Sorry for your shortcommings, but a little TMI.

Based on? Which Samsung would you say competes best with the Vizio SV470XVT1A 47" LCD for $1049.00?

I've wanted to "bump" into Brooke since Blue Lagoon. That desire has not deminished with time.

Good advice! I need to do just that. And yeah I'm sure Al and Marc are tired of seeing my mug by now.

X2!!! I'm assuming she said yes?

I received the early invite email as well, and fully intend to take advantage of it. I plan on finally joining the new millenium and buying my firtt flatscreen HDTV very, very soon. I think a 47" Vizio is in my immediate future. The Oppo looks very impressive, and $499.00 is a no brainer for me.

Sounds like a fantastic time! One of these times I really am going to make a national meet. Very interested in hearing where the next one will be.

That happens to me regularly. I used to think of it as a problem, and considered diets, excercise etc... Then I found out that pants are made in huge sizes. Problem solved... it's much easier to just buy bigger pants.

Thanks for the pics! The Audeze are certainly in the fuggly category, but who cares if they sound good. The larger pic of the amp has allowed me to determine that is a dark Lacewood, for whoever it was that inquired. With Gabon Ebony trim.

Hard to tell from the small pic, but possibly a tight grained Snakewood. Maybe Sapele Pomele, although I don't think so. Whatever wood it is, the copper is a very nice addition.

Did you ruin some after googling Keira Knightley's arse?

The little Monkey is absolutely adorable! Looks like a great day indeed Dad. You can't ever get those days back if they're missed.

WOW!

Completely agree with that, unless they had some type of coating on the inner surface. Bad design choice IMO. The Audeze ortho is sounding better and better. I'll keep my ears open for availability. I'm shocked, but also glad to hear the mainstream paying attention to this older driver technology that IMO hasn't even come close to seeing it's full potential.

Very promising news Ken. Maybe someone was listening to us afterall.

Lock this man up, and take away his ID card!

I'm more behind than I realized. Can't seem to find a pic of them.

Am I missing something? What new Orthos? Well that's good info. I'll be using... Original 2008 CDP -> Buffalo32 -> β22 -> K1000 soon!

Well that's completely dependant on the butt vs. the arse. For example a Roseanne Barr buttload is equal to appeoximately 31 Keira Knightley arseloads. So as you can imagine it's much more complex than metric to SAE conversion.

Well I think it's buttload, but in your case wouldn't arseload be more appropriate anyway? Don't let us yanks steal all your identity man! tin opener, tin opener, tin opener

Not sure what you just said there, so I'm anxious to see the pics.

Congrats!

Almost old enough to be considered classic by now, but still one of my most desired speakers. And still stunning IMO. Sonus Faber Extrema
