If you were serious about sound you would...
In the studio, they use.....wait for it.....studio monitors! Ridiculous premise and ridiculous equipment list.      
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Why do cables matter? Because they sound different.   The end.        
DVD-A thoughts...
@daveyf , I don't know, but if it were me, I wouldn't worry about it. I've had bum discs before....it does happen. I remember buying the brand new Robert Plant/Allison Krauss CD. Took it out to the car, unwrapped it, popped it in the CD player, a...

DVD-A thoughts...
Sorry I can't be of more help, @daveyf . Out of curiosity, what happens if you stick the disc in a regular CD player? I just looked at the manual for my unit, and it will ONLY play (output) DVD-A to the analog out jacks, so surround isn't even a... 
DVD-A thoughts...
I have exactly 1 DVD-A disc. I listen in 2 channel mode. I believe most players (by default) will play just in stereo if the "surround" outputs are not plugged in. There may also be something in the settings where you can choose 2 channel vs sur... 
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
My thoughts are that you bought some good equipment. I have no idea if you're going to like how it sounds after you put it all together, though. Expensive way to find out.  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Why is it that cable deniers always want some kind of measurement or "blind testing" result that PROVES what I hear vs what they hear? I don’t care if you can hear a difference in your system or not. What’s the point? Do you actually want to GE... 
You Can Get Rich From 'Snake Oil'!
I got a rodent tooth in my chicken nugget today. You don't see me upset....no, I ate that rat nugget, and I liked it.

Just another YouTuber trying to get clicks.    
When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system?
The most effort? Hmmm....that's a tough one. Learning patience and wisdom when thinking about making a purchasing decision. That includes (especially) used gear. It can be an expensive journey.  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
You do you. I like my Synergistic Research speaker cables, and they make a nice XLR interconnect, too. VERY nice fuses. Clearly, CLEARLY, they market their products to a certain customer that is at least willing to entertain the idea that cables ... 
Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore?
I might read them, but I take it all with a grain of salt. Not everything can be the best thing since sliced bread.  
RCA versus XLR interconnects
So much absolute BS on here lately. Of course XLR cables make a difference on balanced components. Anyone who says differently obviously hasn't tried using quality balanced components with good XLR cabling. Ridiculous.  
WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?
Because people want others to think they know what they're talking about.
