    JM, this is your choice, not some limitation of surround. If you really wanted a surround system, you could easily figure out how to make it work with your room size and decor. I did when I had a surround system in my living room.

    Yes it is my choice and I choose not to have a surround system. If I really wanted one which I do not. I know you are passionate about it but I am not. This is like one member who told me I was wrong for not having tubes and another member who thought I should have a single driver speaker.

    You are still wrong. You have to like and agree with everything Terrance says or you are wrong. You are not allowed to have your own opinion as to what you yourself likes or dislikes, only what Terrance says you should like. Got it now?

    Remember I said I have heard an impressive surround sound system. If my room was bigger than 12x15 and a dedicated audio room I would enjoy one. Terrance has never been the worst in being overly zealous and he also has a great deal of experience. I hope this is not brewing into another gang up. Post to Terrance directly and do not use others thoughts to bolster your own.

    And I have no interest in what T says, so peace reigns on...

    I will say this... Every time this happens everyone gets the blame except the instigator, if you understand what I'm saying. With that said... Life is too short to have to deal with this type of nonsense or the people who cause it and peace is but a click away with the ignore list.

    No one got blame I just asked my post not be used to bolster someone else's argument. If your issue is with Sir T post to him directly. Sir T has always been Sir T and I doubt if he is going to change.

    You can have whatever "opinion" you desire. Just don't try and represent that opinion as a fact.
