I've got good news and bad news.
Good news: My M22's finally shipped. Yeah!!!!!
Bad news: My car broke down (bad starter, I think), towed it to Good Year and will be carless until sometime tomorrow. (I'm currently at work). Cost, about $330 parts and labor. Already spent $135 on new battery. Will probably set me back a couple more weeks on getting a receiver. I'll be able to study them longer, but will have to just look at my new speakers instead of listening to them. (sob, sob). I had the car checked out earlier this week and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, including the starter.
Bad car, bad car. Not going to wash you for at least another couple of weeks.

Krap! car problems always happen when you least expect it.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

On the plus side, $330 for a starter + install is CHEAP. Some cars you're looking at four times that.

will have to just look at my new speakers instead of listening to them. (sob, sob). Well, think of it this way: You have five senses and you can still touch, see, smell...and, if you wanted to push things a bit, taste your speaker. Four outta five ain't bad.

Hmmm. I never thought of it that way. I wander if they go good with a little beer? You know, the dark ales.

I don't know if I did the "right" thing or not, but I just ordered a Sony 5.1 STR-DH500 from newegg.com for $160. On the plus side, this should allow me to order the EP350 in about a week. Then at least I can run in stereo mode with a sub for now.
It's a cheap receiver, but it should do until I get everything else purchased, then I can opt for a good one later. It uses HDMI for video and optical for audio, which is what I'm doing now anyway.

Tater, maybe you've misunderstood the Dynamic EQ feature as compared to the Dynamic Volume, which is a type of volume compression and doesn't have to be used for most source material. The Dynamic EQ adjusts frequency response to compensate for our ears lower sensitivity to bass and treble at low volume levels and also increases the relative level of the surrounds in quieter passages. The general response to it has been highly favorable.
