There is a tremendous amount of 'chaff' over on AVS, no doubt. Since they're just a massive melting pot of tens of thousands of opinions, it's only natural that there would be some "less than useful" posts. But there are also a few grains of worthwhile information lurking about.

In the past couple of weeks, I've spent several hours researching AVR's over on AVS. I've found a lot of valuable information. Tips for setup, operational notes, firmware checks & updates, comparisons to previous models, links to amateur and professional reviews, and so forth. You just have to squelch out the silly & immature stuff and focus on the nuggets of worthwhile info.

We're just spoiled here. The signal-to-noise ratio on our Axiom board is very high. \:\)


Peter,
There are bright spots, I agree. I was reading about my Yamaha RX-V663 receiver to pick up some tips on set up. The receiver has so much flexibility as to be confusing and I know that most over here are Denonites. The AVS thread has over 330 pages and I am up to page 50. There have only been a handful of posts worth reading. Maybe it'll get better - probably take a good month to get through it all given the amount of time that I have to spend on the forum........

Ken,
Well now that you and Peter have had your ankle bracelets removed, so you can leave the house, your volume may slow a bit! \:D

(plus you probably type faster than ten words per minute... ;o)

Yeah, I was going through the 3808 thread (over 460 pgs now) at work (when the job consisted of hitting "ok" every ten minutes for two weeks). Wading through the "I just ordered!" posts and the incessant questions about pricing, although tedious, paid some pretty major dividends. Lots of good info buried in banality.
