    dish hd is great they have a nice selection of HD channels I have something like 23-24 hd channels, one being KUNG FU HD which i am already addicated to


    oh as for the gaming, the xbox is mine all the nintendo and the ps2 stuff is my roomates but we keep it out there because there is nothing like playing some SF II on the snes on that tv....
    I think he is going to get a ps3, i was thinking maybe a xbox360 but I am hoping they will come out with a model with an hd-dvd rom integrated and not the supposed external rom

    The key to a happy spouse is to not let any wires show.

    :( That is true, yo.

    Has anyone done ANYTHING to hide the cables aside from going "under the rug"?

    We were building a house so the rear ceiling speaker wiring was easily done. A big enough entertainment center can be used to strategically hide the wires. The main thing for any project I am involved in is to pay somebody else to do it!

    She saw the quote :eek: . It was also HER idea to get the 55" instead of the 50". (insert the gratuitous, she always wanted an extra 5" joke here)

    My next preamp will either be the Outlaw 990 (the update to mine) or the Anthem AVM20/30 (Anthem is owned by Paradigm). (Of course, if I had the money, I'd buy a Lexicon preamp.) My Outlaw model 950 has been awesome. Definitely the best deal for the money. (I'm also using Outlaw interconnects, another good value). In fact, I'm so impressed with Outlaw that when I get a new amp, I might even get Outlaw amps as well to match.

    I'm glad to see other people using Paradigm speakers. Definitely a great bang for the buck, IMO. In the future, if I don't upgrade to Maggies (Magnepan electrostatic speakers) or something vastly more expensive like Thiel, I'll definitely buy another set of Paradigms.

    Bobrek, a few years back, I had a pair of white Paradigm Titans that I hung on my bedroom wall (before I moved in with my wife). They're damn good for music (and my God, the price!). I couldn't bear to part with them, so I gave them to my parents. :)

    This is absolutely true. More than anything, my wife hates, hates, HATES the wires that are showing. I promised her that when we get a house, I'll build everything into the walls. But right now, she has no choice but the cope. After all, she benefits, too.
