The future of large RPT’s
Almost there, just need the display. Suggestions?So I have 10k to spend.Spent $3400 on Definitive Mythos speakers and speaker wireSpending $1100 on a Onkyo TX-SR805 reciever.Already have a Toshiba HD-DVD, and HD PVR.That leaves $5500. I’m wondering:
The future of large RPT’sWhile several manufactures have announced that they will cease RPT production I feel that a RPT has a definite future in certain sizes. While the costs of flat panel in the smaller sizes has made the more attractive that RPT, There still appears to be a segment in the 60 to 73 inch sizes where RPT’s have a huge cost advantage over flat panel technology. I currently have a 60 inch Hitachi RPT that has worked flawlessly for 2 years. I even have a spare bulb. It is a LED technology with 720P.
Sonic Solutions dropping support for HD DVD in thier Scenarist softwareA rather big of chunk of news that no one has bothered to post or give any attention. For those not in the know, Sonic’s Scenarist software pretty much dominates the professional DVD authoring market and is already becoming just as significant to major studios/authoring houses for HD media as well.Sonic will still be offering support to existing customers but the HD DVD software will no longer be made available to new consumers. Sonic will be doing their best to get customers to upgrade.

From a newbie — in-wall or bookshelves?Hello all — I’m new to the forum, and I would guess this information exists somewhere here, but I can’t find it. I am moving into a new home soon and am in the process of putting my HD theater system together. I had pretty much settled on KEF iQ series speakers. A conversation with a vendor to do the wiring ended up with him making a strong pitch for in-walls (I forget the brand). I’ve had in-walls for the last 10 years — they’re okay, but I have a hard time believing that even more modern.
