I've resisted the whole big stereo system / HDTV / home theater bandwagon for a long time now. The last "stereo" I owned was in high school, and that was just a basic all in one bookshelf thing. Since then, I've been listening to music and watching movies on my computer, which hasn't been bad at all, really. I've generally preferred to have bookshelves instead of bookshelf speakers in my living room.

But the bug finally bit. Last week I stumbled upon a particular Within Temptation concert blu-ray disk that was a must-have, and which I ordered from Germany since it isn't available in the US.

Saturday I carted home a 40" LCD TV and a blu-ray player. I've been pouring over the inter-webs researching receivers, speakers, and unfamiliar terms like nominal impedance. I spent most of sunday driving around to high end audio shops alternately making my ears bleed (from really bad and ridiculously expensive speakers) and my jaw drop (from speakers that sound like there's a guy sitting 5 feet in front of me playing an acoustic guitar).

I've basically come to one conclusion from all of this: Home theater is a bottomless pit that, once you come upon it, you become compelled to throw money into.

At least it's better than putting it in the stock market.
