After 2 weeks or so of running the TV through my new Polk TSi 100s (via an 80s Sherwood stereo receiver) rather than the speakers built into the TV, my wife has finally acknowledged that the sound is better with the Polks.

Congrats....now you can sneak in a pair of giant Rti-A9s to replace the TSI-100s and a monster power amp for them. Then add a CSi A6 up front. Move the TSIs to surround and she'll "really" think the sound is "better". lol
My wife still can't figure out how to turn on the main TV because it has a cable box that must also be on and ONE remote is used to perform "both" operations. Oh, and we're still working on whether or not HD looks better than SD? lol
