It wasn't downsizing the pics while in flat mode. It was ok in threaded mode.

Great write up btw. And excellent photos.
That was a nice vicarious trip through CEDIA.

Uh, most people i know still don't even have a 5.1 sound system which is why i find it amazing that these new and expanding sound formats are coming out.
Who exactly are they pushing this stuff on?
The 1% of the population?

If i think about 10 people i know, couple of guys from the hockey team, some neighbors, about 3 of those 10 have attempted to put together some type of surround sound system and maybe 1 of those 10 have bought speakers from a box store that are not a HTIB package.

Of everyone i know in town, with one exception, no one else has built a complete and functioning 5.1 system. I don't know a single person who has anything more than 5.1 except for people on these forums.

So again i ask, who exactly are they pushing this stuff on?
Who the hell is going out to buy 6, 7, 8 speakers when masses of people (perhaps even the majority) still don't have 5.1 systems?

It is interesting if they are just catering to the audiophiles. I'm sure it is a sizeable group, but enough to bank all these new formats and cost to develop them on a residential scale?

Came across this slightly older thread in AVS asking the same question.
Seems my ratio of friends with systems is slightly higher.
