I got the same Sharp 46' lcd, samsung 32' LCD(broken) and a LG 42' plasma, i personally find the plasma is best.Not from the best brand but still better.
No offend but,
BOSE? cmon pls...they should rename their slogan " better sales through marketing ", i returned my lifestyle and in-ear phones same day, somehow they sound much better in their "set-up" because its not real sound
Your new sound system looks ok. As speakers/towers i can recommend teac and b&w. If you want a normal dvd sound system harman/kardon are much better than bose both in sound and price. Hk, yamaha receivers are best for the price but yours is also very good.
Btw, back to topic.. " Would you rather own 10 reps or this Sony Bravia 40inch LCD HD TV? "
I would buy the tv at good price and with remaining money buy 1 good rep.
