Mini HT for me...initial thoughts
Posted by: rohit on 18 December 2006
After ~ a decade of watching analog broadcasts/TiVo/DVDs on a 32" XBR CRT it's prolly time to dip into DTV/HT.
Video/Display
A few demos later, the 50" contenders look like
- Runco SP50
uses a Pioneer panel, shares the processor/scalar board as the SP50DHD whose external unit has a dedicated power supply and increased connection flexibility.
- Fujitsu P50XTA50 uses a Panasonic panel
Followed by
- Elite PRO1140HD
I was curious if anyone familiar with either or both the Runco and Fujitsu could pen their thoughts. I'm not considering their upcoming 1080panel based products.
Audio
Haven't given this any thought yet (the Runco offers no integral make-shift solution) so any suggestions of simple/beginner systems would be most helpful.
Note: The 2-channel Naim is in the same room, the 52 has no unity-gain mod and IBLs would only do as rears.
thanks,
rohit
