i would classify myself as a newbie. i've had my system going on 10 months now, and love it, and you all have helped me many times. i don't think any of you are in the home theater industry (could be wrong), but damn, the combined knowledge here is amazing. the posts are informative, humorous, and enjoyable (unless discussing cables or tube vs ss amps), and while i'm on info overload, it is obvious even the dumbest questions get answered with respect.
just wanted to thank all that have helped me, and will hopefully continue to do so.
