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 [:)]

Well, it has to have the 7 channel sound mix for full effect. I don't think they had that in the 15th Century.

Funny thing about 4K HD broadcasts is you can see the 4 layers of putty and spackle on the female newscasters and the weather guy who looks like one of the firemen at Chernobyl. Also one of the male actors from Aliens had a tendency to spit when he shouted his lines. The guy had more drool than the Aliens.
