from what I found. (As long as your surrounds are positioned properly, see Dolby site for correct positioning, and can work adequately from there. Many manufacturers promote totally improper surround positioning because of what they sell, no relation to how DD/dts are mixed to sound. Surround speaker positioning changes with seating changes, and a large screen dictates that.) I did upgrade my surrounds, but yes, that was not truly necessary. I had another use for the original surround speakers, so decided to get something better for the more "public" and oft-used system.

[Just meant that upgrading the screen can have financially deleterious effects if it makes things seem ill-matched. I had absolutely no intention of having a semi-proper surround AV system when I got the large screen. Somehow, the bigger screen made me say "hey, this is not bad" (I'm not a TV watcher at all) and then my problems started. Beware! I am liking it now though, another unwashed unbeliever converted...you know how they are.]
