[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 6754, member: 18"] Lol, cables etc are just too blatantly stupid (the real reason=$$$ isn't stupid, it's called money) but there are some areas that might touch on opinion (like the good stereo vs poor surround). The best would be things like single more expensive sub vs multiple cheaper sub, choice of high-end DVD players, CD players and amplifiers connected to poor loudspeakers, asking them whether the wife adding a wall carpet might be money better spent than a cable upgrade (i.e. do they really give acoustical advise or is it their own pocket that matters more). Then there are the usual things like amplifier choice, sensitivity, baffle step, MTM on the side center speakers.... bi-wiring (and the cable to go with it, low-budg components not withstanding), putting speakers with particularily poor power response into acoustically live rooms (B&W), eisch, I don't view a hi-fi retailer as a sound source of advise at all anymore. The issues like fast bass and the usual tripe don't even raise my gaze any more. [/QUOTE]
