"........as the referee get ready to pull out his yellow card.........."

Lol...yep; I see a yellow flag coming. Time to stop this silly discussion; I am just mad because I just learned that I will not be receiving my annual bonus and I am taking it out on Majorloser and Bose...sorry...

Its not always like that...

I have a family friend who is regularly wowed by my HT and sometimes call on me to troubleshoot.

Unbeknownst to me, he decided to put together a home theater system for himself. Further unbeknownst to me he went to BB and bought a Samsung LCD TV, DVD Player, Pioneer Receiver, Bose Bookshelf Speakers, Monster Cable, etc.

So you can understand my surprize and shock when I walk into his living room one day to find this mish-mash setup (running stereo RCA from DVD to TV to Receiver, etc), him beaming and saying he got a great deal for $1500.

Needless to say, I had no comments except, "Yeah, great deal".

After I got over the shock, I have started helping him get the best out of the gear. Placement tips, signal routing, etc.

And yet I wish now that somebody had taken me by the ear and dragged me back to Future Shop to return my Bose. You may have been doing your friend a favor had you done that.
