I installed a Polk RM system and a Denon avr 2805 With a Samsung 42 inch plasma. Denon dvd2815 and all Pro solutions Ic's with Monster 16-2 speaker wire. Well I calibrated the system and let Gladiator run while we cleaned up.
I also programmed a MX850 remote with RF control for the system. Cable HD was the tv source.

When it was all said and done, I demo'd a good scene and the customer started to tear up. He choked a bit and smiled from ear to ear. His wife thought it was cute how much he was digging his new system. He also feel in love with the Mx850.

Personally I thought the center channel was a bit throaty and the sub was sloppy. The system only had about 3 hours on it. but that wasn't up to me on who though the system was good or not. He loved it.

I thought it was cool to see someone really dig there stuff and get choked up about it.
