it will go much faster if you don't think about it.

As I said before Tom, anytime you want to drop by for a beer,it would be my pleasure.

Alex, if you mean was I suggesting something that could only play the front drivers of the LFR, certainly not, since that wouldn't be what really makes them what they are. The L and R analog outputs of the player would connect to the DSP unit and the front DSP outputs to the front analog inputs of the Onkyo Charles has, then the back DSP outputs to the surround analog inputs. If the player had multi-channel analog outputs they could also be used direct to the receiver inputs.

You and Shawn are showing justified excitement over the shipment about to happen and there's no good reason why Charles can't join the party instead of waiting about a month.

Shawn, you are too kind. Thank you. We plan to (finally) get passports for the kids, and intend to make a long-delayed visit to Vancouver Island sometime "before too long".

yeah, you gotta love a province/island that has entirely built a tourist industry on the home and life of a character in a work of fiction!

..and if you are ever in northern New York state, make sure you visit Spiderman's cottage and boat launch!
