Hello all:
I couldn't find the introduction forum, so I guess I will do it here.
I have looked at the review section of the site for quite a while now, but just found the forum.
I have to admit I am a bit of a caveman when it comes to technology. This all started out (my home audio addiction that is) on a Friday night when I was in my home office goofing around on the net. My neighbor decided he wanted to listen to his country music at ungodly decibels. So loud in fact, that it was a comfortable listening level across the street into the back room of my duplex. Seeing as I am not much of a country fan I decided that I should find a way to protect myself. The next day a co-worker offered me an older 5.1 Pioneer AV receiver. I went right out and bought a set of Boston Acoustic CR series speakers. I figured I had some defense in case he decided to launch another hideous assault against me.
A few weeks after getting my system hooked up it came. "My dog ran away, my wife is fat, ugly, and she doesn't have many teeth". OK... time to suit up! Out comes the AC/DC. Volume up! Fire... Dam! He has more power than me! Back to the drawing board. Perhaps a Martin Logan Dynamo sub will help... Nope still don't have the horse power to keep up.
The same Co worker that gave me the Pioneer receiver offers to sell me his B&K AVR 101. Upgrading already? I ask myself... A few days later another attack... "I am jealous of my sisters boyfriend". ERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
So I purchased the co-worker B&K allowing him to upgrade.
I get the B&K home and hook it up. Then spend the next week playing around with the on screen programing. At this point I think I am finally ready to fend of another attack... "I driiive a rusty truck". Out comes the Metalica... Finally... A stand off!!!
What started as neighborly competition, has turned into an obsession for me. All this started about 2 years ago. Since then I have added Audioquest speaker cables. I would like to upgrade my speakers, CD/DVD player, and TV. I really look forward to reading your reviews and sharing information with you guys.

P.S. My apologizes if I offended any hillbillies here. I was just kidding :cornut:
