In defense of the amount I invested in the Halo's, I did a lot of researching on amps, and if one takes the specs of Halo amps, and prices for seperates, not multi 5 and 7 channel amps, and compare the cost of other well know brands, the Halos are not all that much more in cost. Also the Parsound company is only an hour from my location, so I have good support.



Well, honestly, if anyone would give you grief about going too far in the hobby, it'd be me - I'm usually the "spoiler" and sober second thought around here. For me, it's not the way I'd spend money, but then again, I am notoriously frug... okay, okay... I'm cheap. I'm the guy that'll end up dying with 20 mill in the bank and living in a refrigerator box.

How much tube do you watch anyway? I always wonder what the return on investment is for people? I'm not a TV/movie guy myself... if I average 45 mins of tube a day I'm doing good.
