Bi-wiring mishap
I know this is totally irrelevant, but I once read that Elvis was watching TV and Wayne Newton was on performing. He blew out the screen with a shotgun. Talk about a video game! I hope there are no weapons in your home.

Newbies Biamp question.
Hey Supakit. Thanks for your post. I guess you already know what I was talking about. I often learn lessons the hard way, too. Good luck.
