dumb and simple questions from a noob
Also could research the many rca to  wireless/bluetooth  transmit/receivers for surrounds, wides, height etc. Get a nice pair of speakers that sound good to you for 2ch stereo listening.  They will then be fine for fronts for the HT.  Look at an o...

Prospectives on Chi-Fi
Probably just like anything else, but magnified.. Some decent stuff, some horrible. The smsl 10 was good.. until it wasn’t (heat) The gustard r26 has been very good so far.
