Read moreHere’s an interesting read. Having worked in the CEDIA channel for several years, I can agree with most of what he’s saying. A lot of this works for those of us doing our own home theaters as well…well, except for the getting angry at anyone other than ourselves! Perhaps the first thing I noticed, way back in the beginning, […]
