Joe's right. How ever 1 thing you will get an idea of is the quality of sound of the speaker in question. Yes your room adds roomisms or things that are added only because of what's in the room, or how the room's built but the sound of the speaker and the range of frequencies it can make don't change. I my self would prefer an actual 7.1 system because for some reason sound bars sound like stretched stereo and not real true surround sound. I don't understand why the drivers can't be icelated.

Even then, In a listening room or shop environment, the system may sound completely different in your own living space. If space isn't an issue, I'd probably go with conventional speakers, but as I sed, this is subjective stuff.

Because of hearing difficulties, I would like to control the base and treble and may be other frequencies more closely. One of the features I need to know that it will be able to handle, is that it can go silent, when I want to use my headphones. These are plugged into the stereo and then, through a transmitter, wirelessly send the sound to the headphones. Are these possible? Are there any features that you think I need to have or beware of? Many and sincere thanks for any input! Vicky -- Joe Paton <j...@vi-ability.demon.co.uk>
