John_l, I think what you said about HT speakers all depends on what speakers that you are using. I suppose if the setup is one of those bargain HT speaker packages that you might be correct. For HT, I use Aerial 10Ts as L/R, CC3 as center, and SR3s for surronds. In that case we're talking hi end speakers all arounds, with all the glory attendant with such fine speakers. Justy, I do agree with the philosophy that if you like what you have, be happy!
speaker degradation question
I know this isn't a brilliant question, but every salesman I speak to obviously tells me to replace my Linn Helix front channels because they are 8 years old. I burned them in properly and they still perform perfectly. I am told to upgrade because they were not designed for both HT and Stereo. Thoughts and suggestions appreciated, thanks.
