I ordered a $700 Denon amp for the new TV. 7 channels plus 2 subwoofer channels. Total conspicuous consumption.

Front L and R, Center, Side L and R, Rear L and R plus the two subwoofers. Doesn't get here till Friday. I paid an extra $50 so as not to wait 4 weeks.

When I get the thing in I am going to watch the Edson's Ridge scene from The Pacific on full volume.....and then the launch scene from Apollo 13
