    Yup. It's the Sony XBR 34" Wega KD-34xbr960.
    XBR for xtra bucks required. Damn heavy lil suckers too. I wonder what one would weigh if they made a 65" model :D

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I believe this one is around 200lbs. It takes me, my Mom, and Dad to lift it and move it across the room.

    If you don't have 3 people don't even plan on trying to move this TV.

    My last upgrade was my SC-05, which was last March. Right after I set it up, I lost interest in music.
    Just listened to some newage and soft jazz on XM last night. Man this system sounds GOOD! REALLY good, but, this always leads to the question:
    Can it sound BETTER?
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Of course it can, and it won't even require an upgrade. Use a different source, XM sounds horrible compared to a lossless source.

    Speaking of XM Radio, where can I get a Polk Audio XRT12 tuner or Sirius SH100 tuner?

    I'm currently using one of the dockable home/car units and I'd like to go with a Polk tuner.

    Just like comparing Monster to MIT, right William? :D

    LOL, I'm listening to XM via a DTV base model converter, and it sounds good to me. I've spent the past 2 days researching classical/ jazz SACD's, but unfortunately, they're aren't that many instumentalists listed:(

    I might pull the trigger on some Al Di Meola.
