| One receiver for both ht and 2 channel (diff speakers) Been there before and unless you are okay with the quality of sound, even a high quality AVR offers, then you might consider going the home theatre bypass route. That way you can use the front left and right speakers for both HT and two channel. ... | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice "Trouble Every Day" was written by Frank in 1965 as he watched the Watts riots. It would still be relevant if it was written today. Well, I'm about to get sick From watchin' my TV Been checkin' out the news until my eyeballs fail to see I mean t... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover @shtinkydog I should be thanking you for posting the question. I was always confused by the image as well and your question sparked me to investigate. Funny how it now looks completely different when you have context. | |

| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Interesting question, because my answer is not what I thought it would be. When all is said and done, my choice would be the Sansui AU-9500 integrated I purchased back in the early 70's. The warm sound, the black faceplate and the sensual feel of... | |

| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? I know golfers that own dozens of putters and they're all in the back of one of their closets. Sometimes people just aren't patient or smart enough to know where the source of a problem is. With a golfer it could be his swing or alignment that is... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @curiousjim "And I understood it to mean you’re saying there will never be a year where music was good as in 1971. Am I missing something?" Yes you are. I said that, up to now, "in my opinion", 1971 had the highest number of great albums. I n... |
