merits of allocating $ to 2.o channel vs 5.1
zabor, I put a good couple of years into trying to answer this question. Started out absolutely totally convinced surround is the way to go, and the way to do it is with a AVR. That lasted about a month. What I did, went and listened to AVRs in st...

Looking for Speaker Input

Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL
For perspective, remember the ugly ass one built into a coffee table? Believe it or not there's worse crap than this out there. Maybe not more inappropriately tacky, this one gets you your full $3500 worth of kitsch.
