Tale of Tech Love

For a long time I planned to buy a new computer: researched specs, read articles on the latest components, comparing the best deals.  I never did get around to making that purchase, but did end up buying what I thought at first would be just an accessory to that item.

A 5.1 surround sound system.

This I also researched.  I weighed the different reviews and opinions.  I couldn't spend alot, so looked at systems from the computer speaker market that could be moved into the living room. Cambridge vs Altec Lansing.  Logitech vs Klipsch.  Finally, a grand opening sale brought clarity--a $100-$150 off a very well reviewed Logitech system--I could do this, I could afford this!  But only 6 systems available.  So I arrived early as possible, which wasn't that early (about a half hour before opening), but I was about 4th in line, and only a couple people in front were actually wanting the system.

Got it home, hooked it up--woooow.  Not only was it surround, it was good surround--better than any stereo or sound system I'd ever owned.  Highs were clear, mids were clean and bass than rocked. :)
