Homer that is so true

i was down at the high-end emporium last week

with the intent of solving my video switching problem once and for all:

i was prepaired to spend up to $6000 just so i wouldn't have to:

--shut the system down
--move the speakers
--move the video furnature
--find my glasses
--trace the cables back to the components
--unhook the cables
--find a flashlight
--reconnect the cables to the new source component
--push the furnature back
--pull the furnature out again to reconnect all the power cords that have fallen off (what is the deal with high-end power cords--why are the connections so loose?
--push the furnature back
--reposition the speakers
--sequentially power up the system (fingers crossed)

only to discover that i got the green in the red or missed the proper rca connection entirely...

every time i want to switch from satellite to DVD...

as it turns out, none of the 8 employees at the high-end emporium knew how to solve my problem, but they did take my money.

while waiting for them to decide how much they should take, i wandered into the Magnaplanar 3.6r room. my goodness--they were doing a wonderful job of teleporting me to Lincoln Center...

and i was thinking...now why can't i get that kind of holographic depth??? and i realized that my listening room is just not big enough...I needed more depth, more width, and more height than my 8' ceilings allowed.

conclusion:

"you pretty much need to build the house around it"

that is so true.
