funny you should post this now

just this week i went back to watching dvds in "regular" stereo, and i really really like it, prefer it in fact.

i went the full route to HT, with full-range LCR speakers and high-tech, 360 degree ribbon drive monitors for the surrounds, all carefully dialed-in to THX specs, with a monster 18" velo sub. and seperate massive amps for each speaker--the whole, sick, audiophile obsession with magic wires, power conditioners, room acoustic treatments, technical grounds and dedicated lines...the horror!

this week i'm back to basic stereo.

what was i thinking?

what the hell do i do with all this stuff?

(fukn subwoofer has delaminated the plywood flooring of the living room!)
