"plasma-friendly speakers"

WTF is a plasma friendly speaker? Good lord......reminds me of the "digital ready" trip they used to blather about when CD players first came out......

If I would guess I'd say it's just a fancy way of saying they're shielded.

I thought magnetic fields don't really affect plasmas or LCD's. Just CRT's.

Am I wrong?

Good question to me....

Anyone willing to run a magnet across one's plasma or LCD to find out?

im not knockin your effort, you're going to have to be realistic with your budget, i would reccomend piecing your system bit by bit, it will help you choose each item with more scrutiny and you wont end up with useless equipment if you choose each piece individually. you may not end up with the "audiophile experience" but if it sounds good to you that's what matters. if you're looking for a cheap receiver, let me get ya started with a suggestion:

the avr-687 doesn't have hdmi switching or a lot of power but it's $130, it has two opticals and a coax or two, it can also decode dts and dolby digital, and should be able to power any front/center/surround setup in your pricerange. hope that's more helpful than my snyde comments

keep lookin theres always good deals out there
