Many of these tv stands aren't wide enough for these 'big' tvs :victory:

Good eye. :victory: :applaud:

Though not in the picture, there's a Shichinin no Samurai poster to the left of it. :mrgreen:

Not sure... Thinking about it.

I'm more motivated to upgrading my AV receiver.

Yup... SV471XVT.

It's not a problem at all, though: it weighs one-third of the TV it replaced.

My brother and I didn't break a sweat getting this LCD in place... The old CRT TV on the other hand... :sweat:

I hear you, I "borrowed" my dad's old receiver & speakers, he wasn't really using it anyways. :mrgreen: I think this receiver is easily a decade old, but it still sounds great. :victory:

I hear ya. :victory:

My brother just bought a new 7.2 receiver, since his 5.1 receiver was acting up... I'm gonna take it off his hands and try to fix it. :victory:

The one I'm using is a Pioneer 5.1. Like I said the sound is great. The only "complaint" I have of it, is that the speakers are probably double the size of speakers today, even so they're not huge or anything. I guess it just makes them look a little dated, 10 years in 'technology age' is a long time.

Heh, if you think that's old, my two front speakers (B&W DM330s) are almost 25 years old... And still going strong. :victory:

25 yrs?, yeah that would be ancient :hehe: , though talk about a good buy. :victory:

Yup, got a lot of miles of those speakers. :victory:

Heh, my Denon CD players is just as old. :beaten:

Hmm, looks like the receiver my brother gave me has a problem with the right speaker output and rear left surround speaker output... :sweat:

Gotta try to hunt down a service manual for the thing... :sweat:

EDIT: Yatta! I actually found one... :shocked:

Let's see if it'll help me fix it. :fingerscrossed:

Anyone got any recommendations on a AV receiver?

I'm looking at models from Yamaha, Denon, and Onkyo at the moment.

I have an Onkyo, never had any problem with it :)
