EDIT: Update! March 2005.
The stereo system has been assimilated into my foster daughters room, and she's using it for playing MP3s on her computer! Yes, I'm giving-up my dedicated 2-channel system until different living arrangements or room remodeling, but at-least I am preventing the next generation from buying a shelf-system, or even worse, Bose!
Stereo changes:
*Barstool speaker-stands, rolly cart shelf, and folding chair have been replaced by a computer desk & chair.
*NAD c521i CD-player collecting dust in closet, source component is now Windows computer running WinMedia (I suggested she use iTunes, but to no avail).
Home theater changes:
*Sony 300 disk CD changer added.
*JVC S-VHS player no longer in system. Gathering dust in same closet as NAD CD player. (I really should start Ebaying stuff.)
*JVC DVD player currently on fritz. I'd stop having anything to do with JVC, but the TV is working fine.
And since my 2-channel system is now mu daughters system, I've been using the 5.1 as my primary music system. The Atom/SVS combo works really well, but I'm guessing the budget receiver is keeping me from the last few %'es of music/movie anjoyment.
