The filters are needed, imo, to achieve the best picture quality out of your set

As I said before, the filters are INCLUDED with the AVIA DVD.

You used the RS Meter correction file, right?

Correction is not necessary unless one is EQing a sub and using the RadioShack meter to do so.

Yep, but you cannot properly calibrate a system without doing that.
