    What will happen to Klipsch?

    when the mass merchants become 65+ % of a mnfgrs buisness , as best buy will certainly be to Klipsch, they begin to dictate terms . They say "gee, we don't think that your models x and y fit into our price structure ; so either figure out how to make them cost us $40 and $60 less or we can't...

    A friend had an HTIB when I first met him (@$500 system) which is now in his bedroom.

    what gear offers "switchable" rears?

    I am a stickler about voice matching amps and speakers, but I am not exactly comfortable in recommending wide dispersion side-surrounds over direct firing rear surrounds in all aplications...I like an either-or-or-both combination best! I need help in developing a list of 7.1 rcvrs/pre-pros that...

    How inexpensive could a pre-pro be?

    If you took the least expensive Yamaha, Sony, Denon, kenwood, etc. rcvr(that had all the current formats) and took out the amps(which would probably allow for a lighter power supply),how inexpensive could it be...inquiring minds would like to know...would there be a market for this piece...

    I work selling A/V equipment and since dd and dts (as well as other discrete, multi-channel formats) have become the standard (as opposed to the old dsp and dpl days)I am often faced with customers that have good (even great)gear that is un-balanced(ie; Kef referance fronts, a Sonus Faber...
