    help, simple system, no clutter!

    Who is pretending ? I grew up in the pro audio industry and learnt my trade with Alesis (USA) and Harman (UK - Soundcraft then Turbosound) and agree that an AV receiver and separate speakers can give the ultimate performance. But, particularly in this day and age a smaller, simpler option is...
