    Whoa whoa... it wasn't meant as an official decree or anything. :p Audio forum, opinions, etc etc etc. All i'm saying is that after building a dedicated 2-channel setup, i would never be satisfied with listening to stereo music through an AVR. Me personally. I guess i could have elaborated a bit.

    If other people are happy with it, far be it from me to put them down for it.


    BTW, my post was a reply to X, not really to anyone else. ;)

    I thought that's how you meant it but it just didn't come across as you intended. As in all audio topics, opinions will vary. Your opinion is very well taken because you've actually tried it both ways & you simply prefer one over the other.

    Yep! Unless you're a troll, don't take me seriously. :) I was probably distracted by something shiny on my desk or such when i typed that first post.

    Interestingly enough, i used to not really care about 2-channel. I got into this hobby through HT, which is all i ran when i first joined. Then got a pair of VS-25s in part of a package deal for some Infinity SM-115s, threw them on my backup Pioneer Elite EX-500 package in a cheap easy 2-channel setup. Then the sickness grew from there. Maybe two weeks later i was running them with Adcom separates, and i had already discovered Audioquest Sidewinders.

    Now? I don't even have a complete working HT. I have two 2-channel setups. :p I watch movies on my 2-channel setup in the living room, and i don't really find it lacking. I'll do another HT, but more just to tinker with more stuff.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.
