Okay, so how come every time I am watching a movie and someone in the movie cranks up the volume on their boom box or little-bitty shelf system it sounds just as good and room-filling as my multi-thousand dollar HT system?

It's pissing me off. I mean they spent $50 bucks and it sounds just as good. :)

system 2:
XBox 360 Spherex 5.1 system, HK DVD38, Phillips CDC 926 CD changer, Phillips 32" LCD

2 channel
NAD 1600 pre, NAD 2400 THX amp, Phillips CDC 926, Linn extra speaks, crappy TT

    Don't know but if I can find one I'll let you know and I will sell my whole system for sure. Why would I want all those big speakers, when I can have 2 3inch drivers reproducing the full range.

    My dad's Bose Wave Radio sounds better than a pair of LSI 9's.
