Both of you sound like an ignoramus! I have spent months researching before deciding to post. I didn't' want to bias anyone with my elementary thoughts on an audio system. That is why I posted in the "Beginners Forum". I thought I would get a discussion started, and get some interesting information that I could learn from and enhance my elementary knowledge. Both of you should be booted out from any forum discussions!!! Get a life. This is a Beginners Forum.
