| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Of course they are. A few years back they had nearly disappeared from the market.

| Saw John Prine a couple weeks ago, WOW BTW, I think JP played all of his most recent (and most excellent!) Fair & Square record during the show. I can't believe John Prine was actually given a grammy for this record. It just goes to show that there are some real music fans n the gr... | |

It really reduces the sound output sound and allows me to play my system 24X7 in order to decrease the break-in time required for my new speaker purchases.

| Using a DVD player as a surround processor?? Nothing at all wrong with the idea. The processing has to take place somewhere. No reason why it can't be accomplished just as well inside the DVD player vs. in a pre/pro or HT receiver.Enjoy,TIC | |
