How to use my old B&W's with my new big screen??
Watch out. You might be tempted to start working toward a total home theater. I started with the Matrix 3's and now have B&W center, subwoofer, and Boston surrounds. It was difficult to stop. They were always my dream speakers. Have fun. Dan

Vote for your "Favorite Christmas Music CD or LP"
I grew up with a Maguires Sisters album in the 50's-60's that had both kids and grownups songs. Loved the songs. Now I like the "NOW that's what I call Christmas" It has the usual list of xmas songs by the stars who made them famous. 
Home Theater or stick with 2 channel?

Man Cave or No?
When my middle daughter was about 2 or 3, she walked over to the system and cranked up the volume. Scared her straight. 
Man Cave or No?
My main AV system is in my living room. My second system is in my office. My wife told me that as soon one of my daughters move out, I get a bedroom as my mancave. I'm already looking for husbands for them. Of course they are just 18, 17 and 14. B...
