Thanks, lightninJoe for "this" no. 2!!

It perfectly fits into why I figure some folks who have spent a megaton of bucks on a super-duper sound system to bring the concert into their home and find, of course, that they can't; keep their pocketbooks open for any sincere sounding charlatan who comes along with dollar signs in their eyes.

Can't do it!! The concert won't show up, just a pretty good representation of the sound!

Can NOT be done!!....only way to bring the sound of an real full blown orchestra into the livingroom is to bring a real full blown orchestra into a VERY LARGE livingroom!

Same with a bistro; change the instruments and performers, and the size of the room, add the crowd and ya got it!

So wattaya gonna do when you've spent all those bucks, and the band ain't really there??

Spend more bucks, of course!!

Can't stop now, got too much invested!!

Planck would also be delighted that the Good Guys almost constant-ly win in "Star Wars" cuz the "Force" gave them his most famoustes formula!

May the Force be with Y'all!

I recently found out that my sister's boyfriend uses THESE in his home theater. I LOL'd so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. I also found out that he has ~$20k in AudioQuest cables.

Talk about drinking the koolaid.
