I haven't posted in a very long time but I've been a member since Oct. 2001 ! I the last year I got rid of my cones and domes Homebrew and experimented with Bose. Honestly, I would never pay retail for a pair of 901's but I got a bargain last year on a pair ($350 - cabinets were shot). After...

I was going to pick up CSI Season 10 from iTunes, but I can’t tell for the life of me if they offer it in 5.1 or stereo only. As far as I can see, the store page only says HD. I looked around and I’m noticing every TV page displays that for me. And then, I also realized when I play...

This company essentially invented the alternate-track audio commentary with its laser disc releases. Since then, they've commissioned innumerable such tracks, which led other companies such as Warner Bros to embrace the idea and use it as a "bonus" or supplement" feature on many of their DVD's...
