1. How many TVs do you have in your home? - 3 (one is a projector)
2. How many of them have crappy sound systems built-in? - 2 (Older Sony CRT's w/ TV sound)
3. How many of them are connected to an external audio system? - 3
4. Do you own, or intend to buy, a stand-alone iPod speaker system? - Nope, I'm not an iPod user but I have a Sansa MP3 player. That said, if I was going to integrate my MP3 library to my system, I'd probably go with some sort of music server option. As it stands, I just hook up my Sansa, or a friend's iPod direct into one of the AVRs in my house (Via either the iPod USB connection, or just analog audio L/R) and use my existing sound systems to play music, if the need arises. I also have a set of small active speakers to use away from my main setups.
