That sounds like the boy's problem, not yours.

Yes, home theater equipment is indeed mystifying and it's hard to get a sales person who's not trying to convince you that their product is simply the only option. Rarely will they actually outline the more broad principles of what you should be looking for... The guy I spoke to the other day was cool though and often said, "regardless of where you get this, look for x feature, etc...." I always appreciated not getting treated like an idiot by sales people. I'll actually buy shit from them.

I didn't mean to imply something was wrong with you, I meant to say that I have a room waiting for you, and the chains are long enough for you to reach the shower on your own.
