I hate giving plugs but I bought this right after Christmas (the price never went down--still hasn't) but this has a high rank on consumer reports and it really rocks - lists at $1,999 but you can find it for around $1,200. Definitely needs speakers (at least $250 more) and professional wall mounting is nice (another $250). We had one shipped free (and no sales tax, of course) from Amazon.
