Good point. I am just bummed I have dumped all that $ and no real big sound. It is loud its just not real clean and no real POP. Dialgue is real shallow with flixs and music it just not that loud no matter how hard I crank it up. I used to have Pioneer Elite towers, JBL sourounds, infinity prelude center and and infinity 15 sub with the same receiver (no amp) and it was way more powerful and cleaner. I scrapped all that for this new set up and I wish I had the old stuff back.
