Well, I always did want to find out if Matti Otala was right

Never (before B-D/HD DVD) have I had such easy access to wide-bandwidth material, and I want to see what I can do with it. I determined that Harmon Kardon still boasts of low feedback, low TIM distortion and wide bandwidth designs (they mention 1 volt max at 100 khz, which seems like a hefty output), and their top receiver is around $700, which is less than 1/2 of what I had expected to spend. I have no HT amplification right now, so no pointless upgrades here.

As for my Sharp TV's built-in speakers: They sound a heck of a lot better than I thought they would, and for quieter movies, they work surprisingly well. But soundtracks like the ones for "Akira" and "Baraka" are simply too much for the little things, and I'm afraid I'm going to wreck them.
