At the very moment they still have the best picture quality with better blacks and few motion artifacts. The problem for many is that they are so damn BIG. But if WAF is not an issue they are a real
bargain.

That when you place one between your high-end speakers, you aren't going to like what you hear.That said, as the owner of a 64"er, I agree, it's the cheapest way to get a big screen.
about placing a big RP monitor between speakers. I use Magnepan 1.6's all around and find no problem with soundstage, imaging, pans, etc. I recently eliminated the center speaker as well and use a phantom.
I noticed some sound stage reduction when I put the Pioneer 730HD between my two Thiel speakers. The Thiels are touchy about room bountries anyway, and the Pioneer, with its reflective black piano gloss finish and square box chassis, was like adding two more walls next to the speakers.I am wondering if stand mounted monitors would be best for my situation (Less side reflections?)
try a front projector and a pull down ceiling mounted screen. For $1500 you can get a 100" diagonal image .
That would be best, but you need a totally dark room, plus another display (plasma would be great) for everyday/daylight TV viewing. Then you could have three identical speakers across the front.CRTs usually are just bright enough so that they will work anywhere.
I would think a $1500 front projection system would need a line-doubler (another $1000) to match a decent CRT RPTV?
you're right. But for my purpose - only used for DVD viewing it works great. This is in my basement rec-room/HT.for everyday tv I have a 42"incher
