Thanks. You just made my point, which was...you don't know what "great home theater" is. BTW, we're in agreement about room size effect on speaker performance, but you're the one who claimed to entertain 15-20 people...I can just see the crowd squinting to see your InFocus on the painted wall with the $200 sound system straining against the underpowered amp. BTW, notice you didn't debate the DLP v. LCD.
Those of you who want a really good home projector and don't have the $28,000 plus for a CRT system should take a look at the the latest generation DLP systems (Marantz and Sharp for two). Coupled with the included scaler (doubler/quadrupler), they are the closest thing to the holy grail of home theatre viewing, just barely less performance than CRT at a third the cost. Oh, and you may want an actual screen to reflect the light properly, rather than a dull painted wall. Stewart home screens are widely acclaimed.
And yes, celluloid still has the most resolution (NO pixels) and tonal balance of any of the display systems. Ever wonder why they don't make movies in digital? ... because they haven't overcome the lack of warmth inherent to the digital medium.
