Nothing.  Ignorance of other better options at a similar/better price.  They are the beginning point.

Maxwave - I agree a local installer is a requirement.  The same lack of depth in the equipment that leads me to ask for the views of the Forum on it, has me convinced that I wouldn't do the setup without a professional.Also, you guys are starting ...

Good questions.  You're not nosy at all.  My friends who play poker tell me if you can't spot the patsy when you sit down to a game, it's you.  I didn't have to spend much time reading threads on Audiogon to realize I am the patsy here.80% movies,...
