    "a 14-page article", "easy to read."

    One of these things is not like the other. One of these things does not belong.

  2. Who cares? It's all about the speaker cables by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think calling a $60 5.1 speaker system a "home theater" might be going a bit overboard...

    The speakers themselves play little role in your sound system, so it's fine if you get ones so cheap. A real home theatre environment, however, depends entirely on $200 speaker cables. Good (= expensive) speaker cables can compensate for lesser stereo equipment, as well as for a small penis.
