My point was, that many audiophiles will choose sound and recording quality over quality of the music. The old joke is, if it *sounds* good, the music must suck.
Tell the truth, would you rather watch your favorite movie on a 23" B&W Tv or a 50" plasma?

It is not really a question of a 23" B&W vs. plasma... no one would argue such silly thing. It is a question of what role do those decisions play in your life. If you buy the plasma and then forget about it, simply start enjoing movies it is one thing. If you spend thousands on having it calibrated, set up, upgraded, replaced, etc, etc, etc, and constantly reading about better TV's then it is something different.I bought a plasma years ago, and never since then had any bug about learning about new models... about upgrading... knowing full well the technology had moved great deal. It just doesn't bother me one bit, as what I have is good enough for my image flipping, plus some.
When it breaks I will replace it with a modern version, whatever will be modern at that time, but I will not even read any reviews - not now, not when time comes to replace it. When I bought it I simply asked one guy, and he happened to have this one at a good price. Deal!
So I don't know what bin you put me in... I love movies... and I do not care much about image quality... as long as it is... well... adequate.
You are probably amoung the largest group of people where you want quality and buy it then its done. Above Joe sixpack who buys into the flash, but not the obsessive hobbyist. I'm in that group, but *closer* to the hobbyist side. When I bought my set, I had to promise my wife I wouldn't treat it like I used to treat audio. I'll keep this set until it dies.
