    Until you quit saying you need 5 ears to enjoy surround sound (for movies), I'm going to argue with you every chance I get.

    This is a "BONUS" question, and not one covered in the package you selected sir. You'll need to upgrade for a correct answer.
    I feel so cheated. All this $$$ I blew and now I need another upgrade? :eek:

    I'm never gonna be a Guru. :(

Want to know what the best CD Player is?..ask me. Want to know if cables make a difference? ask me. Worried that your system isn't worthy? ask me.

    That is all, carry on. :D
