Small and satisfying. Please help me.


OK guys. You've got me on the right track for a 37" plasma for my bedroom. I want to do it with surround sound. My wife is gung ho but wants it sweet, simple, small and not ridiculous $ wise. I heard this 5 way Bose surround set-up and loved it. Had all the qualities I'm looking for. Can I do better? Space, remember, is the MAJOR factor. My bedroom, although nice size, is still my bedroom. Thanks in advance. warren

I was going to go with the Panny 37. Can buy online for $3k, but now I've got to check into the LCD thing. Don't want to pay more than 3k. The Mitsubishi I saw was amazing, but way to expensive and it was only 30"
Warren, if you like the sound of the Blows, use 'em. Peel the Blows stickers off the front and buy some Sonus decals instead.

God forbid you should look up in a moment of passion (bedroom system) and see the Blows branding.......... It may cause an inverted smile curve ie: "shrinkage". Your wife, at that point, may not be as "gung ho" about the new system.

"Screw all these name brand Nancy's".

Just don't actually TELL anyone that you are using Blows. Although, now all of us Audiogonr's are aware of the possible Blows purchase. Of Course, you have at this point, lost even the slightest trace of credibility. BTW, a Blows purchase totally negates the fact that you made a good choice with the YBA. But, do what you feel comfortable with.

Have a nice day Warren, Ed.
I am going to second the suggestion for Gallo Acoustic's spherical speakers... a friend has a set of them and they sound great for the size.
Ed, lol. My wife is an ICOS rep. They manufacture Cialis. If I went with the Blows that would certainly help keep the wind in my sails. You know, I'd never go with Blows. It was a weak moment. Now, Radio Shack; there's a consideration.
If you want to keep it real simple, there are a couple of ways you could go.
One, is to buy one of those packages like Sony, Nakamichi and many other companies make -- complete with DVD player, receiver, and speakers. But,
I think you can get better quality if you separate these purchases. Since you're going to lay out some $$$ for a plasma screen, you'll want to have a DVD player that will get the most out of it. Hopefully, one that is future ready with DVI output. After that, you still need a receiver and speakers. Depending on your budget, there is still another way to go. You could get a DVD player, a surround processor, and "active" speakers, which are amplified.
This way, you get speakers with amplifiers tuned to them, you get a surround processor instead of a receiver. There are several companies that make relatively small "active" speakers. What's your budget?
