    Question about rear surround & receiver options

    Jim/Steve .... Thanks for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to help. I wish I could pull the trigger this weekend, but it will have to wait a couple of weeks at least. I will, however, definitely take your advice and buy from a dealer who will allow an in-home test drive. After...
