Any thoughts?

Buyer’s remorse sucks, but carpe diem I suppose. I often read online reviews
about products before I buy, I generally compare several products across a
category. It’s usually pretty easy to suss out the wheat from the chaff if
you spend long enough at it. And with a stereo or screen you should always
try it out, and specifically with the kind of music / DVD / game whatever
that you’re gonna be playing.

I’m not a huge audiophile, all I’ve got is a pretty decent set of THX-y
computer speakers, which I found out the day after I bought them I paid at
least a third too much for. I’d love to buy a decent stereo again but every
time I go into the shops all I seem to see are god-awful BIG flashy plastic
pieces of shit. Don’t care how they sound, I don’t need something that looks
like Optimus Prime in drag playing my treasured Cure collection thanks…

If I'm going to spend more than a hundred bucks on a piece of electronics, 
I'll spend a half hour or so on line looking for reviews and info to make an 
informed choice.

And fwiw, Bose and well as Monster Cable are considered to be the two 
biggest overpriced and undervalue cons perpetrated on unknowing consumers in 
home stereo/home theater electronics.
