that was a direct quote from my lovely wife. She has also used the terms "stereo", "thingy", "home theater" and "miserable POS". The latter is a reference to the fact that it is an older receiver and not as user friendly as what it could be. It's an older Newcastle and if you hit the power button instead of the standby it clears all of your settings. So what that means is the next time it's turned on you have to start over with the setting aargh. However, it's a nice, powerful piece of equipment that will serve me nicely in the bedroom. Wait, that sounds kind of bad doesn't it? OK, it's a receiver that I will be utilizing to power the M3's in my bedroom setup.
