    ....or not. Seems that someone doesn't know the definition of the word TROLL.

    FROM WIKIPEDIA
    An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an online community such as an online discussion forum or USENET, with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.[1]

    You know like saying that my speakers are junk and that my system is poor, etc etc. Or saying that Blu-ray has already won or that LCD is superior to anything else, etc etc.

    You see, this shows your basic lack of understanding of the English language.
    I said that LCD will be the display standard, that it will replace the CRT as the main
    type of display, and in many respects that has already happened.
    Doesn't mean its better, just means its more popular.
    VHS sucked compared to BETA, still won its "format war".
    Audiophiles and videophiles go for something called "PQ", they are the ONLY ones who do.
    Why do you think that in the mall 90% of the stores are shoe and clothes stores?
    And that most cater to women?
    Because they control the purse strings, and as long as they think "flat panels" are stylish, nothing else will have much of a chance.
    As for quality LCD does have a decent picture, the differences in quality with other type displays are small.
    And I never said that your system was "junk", just that you were rather ignorant of certain realities that shaped the construction of your gear,
    and like most in this hobby these days, the quality of your gear was rather unbalanced.
    Its a waste of money for "rich in texas" to be running B&W speakers with a low to midline receiver, he'd be better off with a cheaper set,
    because the potential of his speakers aren't being realized, so why pay for it?
    Likewise the price range of some of your gear is rather disparete, if you are on a long upgrade path, great, some of your nicer stuff is waiting to
    "catch up" with upgrades in other areas.
    But I think that you would be better served with equipment more closely matched is all.
    You're wasting potential if a neat piece of gear is matched to lower line stuff, and you are still paying for that potential.
    So why pay for what you're not using?
    SPEAKERS are the most important part of a system, should cost as much as the other stuff combined, at least.
    But if your prices are correct than you don't have near enough speaker for ten grand worth of gear.
    But that is just my OPINON after all (don't wanna be labeled a Troll or something)
