Ah yeah, sound bars. I don't really believe in thoughs. You nead all 5 speakers or 7 speakers there's no way out of it if you want the true thing. Even the companion 5 ones I'm using are just 2 speakers and supposedly they are 5.1. Fake 5.1 is what they are, exaggerated stereo is what it is. Nop, sorry, you need all the speakers if you want the true experience. So you have to choose, a pretty living room whith no wires every ware, or the true theater experience. Maybe it's just me, but that's why I think they came out with these kinds of things to start with. But anyways. That's for another thread. That's beyond the point of this one.

That's hard to believe, unless all those chanels get wrapped inside the equipment? It has all the settings it has on mine, and I believe it costs $1400. I probably paid $11 or $1200 for mine, and the total wattage is 100. Now Bose has something called Accustomass receiver. That's supposed to have surround sound too. I heard it once, and I thought it sounded pretty good for it's size. It costs $1400. It has the array in the middle front with speakers in it, I assume, and they said on t their website that the sides are Gemstone speakers. I'm not sure what they are. Beelieve it or not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hamit Campos" <hamitcam...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 8:25 AM Subject: RE: AV Receivers with accessible web interface > Yeah, he's right from what I've heard too.
