Hi, Chesseroo--

Hmmm.......good analogy. So why do I feel so un-qualified? I guess learning the intricacies of home theater is no different from learning anything else: there's a curve, and (after about a week and a half) I'm still at the beginning of the curve!

Anyway, I appreciate your detailed response, and I was particularly interested in your comments about THX. Are the benefits more hype than reality? (Of course, as with all such matters, I suppose the answer depends largely upon one's ears--and what's between them!)

Thanks again--I'm very new to the "Axiom community," as it were, but you guys seem like a great bunch of people. And I think that has to say something about the quality of the company and its products.

Best,

theaterdoc
