    I had the wrong idea

    I thought this thread was about shopping for speakers with the wifey.

    The system he/you picked out should sound many times better than that Life-style system. Welcome your boss to our road to audio bliss.

    I wish that was the case, but audio shopping with her can get touchy. I swear, if
    I bring one more speaker in here, I don't think I'd be waking up tomorrow. Not
    having a dedicated "listening" room set up yet, has shall we say, put the friggin
    "no mas" on the hobby, till the next purchase. Having 3 sets of vintage monitors
    that weigh 50lbs each was not a good plan for a living room (my fault), but hey
    I had no choice.

    The first step

    Interesting thread.
    Like most not associated with forums like this, convenience is probably a major issue with yr. boss. No problem with that. The cool thing is that he's taken that first step toward the addiction Several of my buddies have undertaken the upgrade path after "inheriting" pieces of equipment. Usually, one just has to hear the difference and maybe after some tweaking bossman's system will have some synergy.
    In any event it's going to be an improvement...

    Cheers
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Well I went over and balanced everything out, he used pioneers MCACC set-up mic,
    as he should have for start-up, but he had everything set to "large", and the cross-
    over was way off. He started goofing with the manual speaker settings. Fixed all
    that, did the SPL set-up, and got the audio right for his HD. It sounds great in DVD
    playback, we checked out KING KONG as a test, but for rock music, it ain't
    gonna cut it, for me anyway. He's into CW/Classical/Jazz. We threw on some
    Toby Keith, and it was ok. BTW, that Elite receiver, not to bad, and say what you
    like about polk stuff, but that sub also, not to bad. Thanks, later
