No I don't get it. Why do we need multiple threads discussing the same thing? Please explain the benefit of having multiple threads on the same topic running at the same time. Why did you start a thread instead of contributing to the others? -
noobs don't know how to click on the new post link lol.

Geez. You guys must not have much to worry about!

Regardless of the number of threads, I wonder how many of us really have spent serious money on audio gear in a CC? I bought a tv there 15 yrs ago, but other than that I never spent money on electronics there (other than a pair of out of the box Polk outdoor speaks for 60 bucks).
I guess I'm sad to see them go, but I'm betting most people even buy the periphials online (cables, connectors, etc).
To me, the most telling reason they went under was my experience buying my 50" plasma. I spent probably two hours over a three day period there looking at a few different plasmas, and over that two hrs of time not one sales rep came up to me and asked if I needed help. I ended up buying my plasma from Costco, where at least I got a lower price for no help and no harrassment over an extended warranty.My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself. -
That sucks. "plasma" appearantly you needed all the help you could get!

Wow, thanks for being the first person I put on ignore.
BTW, I bought that "plasma" before LCD was a household word. On the other hand I was sitting 5 ft from mine today and had a clear pic. Try that with an LCD.
I have words for people like you, but I don't want a ban.My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself. -
I have to agree. Check out the current issue of Home Theater Mag. Shoot out of flat panels. Guess how the Pioneer Kuro Plasma did? Think LCDs beat it?
The closest competitor was Sony's new LED LCD displays?
Got to keep up with the literature. Plasmas now have a longer life than a lot of LCDs are almost as impervious to burn-in as LCDs and have better Black levels and 'more natural color'.
And as Rivrrat points out, viewing angles are phenomenal!

Just came from our local CC.......
Big fat hairy deal...10% off TV's/Computers/Electronics.
20% off Music Cd's and DVD's yeah real huge savings.
But ya wouldn't believe how picked over the place was with such a lil discount.
IF they ever go 30-40% there won't be nothing left to buy!
With 8.5% tax here the percentage wasn't diddly.
All I got was 3 Cd's and a 8GB PNY Thumb drive for my Boy for School for $22.
