I think I am speaking for lot of us here when I recommend a new thread about the your recent purchasing experience. This will make all of us more informed consumer for our audio products. You may want to include:

1. Equipments auditioned
2. Equipment bought and why did you buy that particular one
3. Where was the purchase made
4. What was the price quoted and paid
5. Experience with the salesperson
6. Any other note

Lets dedicate this thread to heart and souls of home-theater ie. speakers and receivers.

Who is going to be the first one?

This may sound just like those posts in edmunds.com about automobile purchase. But hey, those are really good and helpful posts. Afterall, now I am a very happy odyssey owner since last 5 yrs(btw, THE CRAPPIEST automobile speakers for a 30k van)

Also, if such thread already exist, then I apologize for the redundancy. I know we have a separate review section, but I think this is going to be more active and live!
