i think you are dead on, joe. after moving the offending speaker (with unshielded magnets) you probably will find things go back to normal, that is after turning off or unplugging the set so the built-in degausser kicks in.the avia dvd is well worth it's price (!!) and the common "banding problems" that many complain about with sony wegas are usually nothing more than black level and/or white levels not properly set.
i know, since i went through watching things like the intro to star trek: next generation and going into orbit each time :-)
the series begins with black and blacker-than-black shots (space, the final frontier ... ) and huge, disconcerting, rolling black and grey bands - this used to drive me crazy. it suddenly occured to me to make adjustments with the avia on the tv's STANDARD video setting (and not just the movie setting)
those annoying problems (which i had believed to be a design or manufacturing flaw) with my 36XBR disappeared (duh!) without a trace.
the set's default video settings are punched up way to high, so that on certain material you see the wretched effects. there is a caveat however. i left the white level and some other adjustments closer to the default on the standard picture, since unless you watching movies in the dark with an exceptional video source, the picture is just too dull and lifeless. my advice is to use the standard picture mode (with avia black level tweaks) for normal daytime viewing with satellite/tv source, and use the movie picture mode for dvd sources (e.g. component video) in total darkness - and don't forget to use the (critical) bias light when you set up for home theatre viewing of such sources.
after using avia carefully, i no longer feel an ISF technician is absolutely critical to getting a good picture. but to really knock you socks off or if you have persistent problems, a properly equipped ISF technician visit is worth much more than what the visit costs. there are adjustments (like grey level) that only can be made with tech and high priced diagnostic equipment.
