very interesting and helpful info. I am hoping that with the smaller screen I can put a 7000 under it. you know, rather than spending the money on a sub, maybe you could look into tuning the room....
I have a 96" wide screen and a G90 CRT, and the picture is great, but the light is very controlled in the room. I don't think I would want to go bigger with the CRT.
I have my 6000's behind the screen (microperf). That is the most natural way to go. There is a lot of sound coming from the center, especially dialog, and having it come from anywhere but the center of the screen may be distracting.
I have tuned the room to some extent, but it is hard to remove the fundamental standing wave without negatively affecting other frequencies. The rest of the spectrum is pretty flat, it's just that one room mode I would like to flatten.
