    I think if you add CUD  (constant upgrade disorder) and make it the trifecta of CUD \ OCD \ GAS you are screwed ,otherwise known as audiophile accumulator :)

    Is it true that speakers have to be "run in" ?

    Running in speakers makes a considerable difference in my opinion. I have had 2 incidents where i bought run in\demo and new and the run in speakers sounded more balanced and a bit less constricted. It is also one of the reasons i like buying Demo stock. Some of that running in has been done...

    In The Center Venter - Subwoofer Placement Question

    My concerns where about the cancellation \ amplification of the frequency as well. From the internet research i have been doing it seems it is a very uncommon idea.

    Why do people invest in HT...?

    To me the cinema experience has become a sliding bar experience. The more you are willing to pay the better the end point experience. A example would be cinema junction vs Imax type experience. My problem with it is the reality's are distorted. Try and take a family of 4 to a Imax movie and see...
