After finding $200 Klipsch HD 300 speakers and a $200 Yamaha RX-V467 receiver I received Tigerbombs blessing and ordered both. While I didn't really need a new sound system, the $500 combined savings forced my hand. Of course Lisa was asleep/watching TV when they were delivered, and the UPS guy instead delivered them to Robbies house. That very instant I received an excited phone call demanding he perform the install and calibration, a request I dared not defy. Unbeknownst to me, my new receiver featured a YPAO mic that automatically calibrates speaker size, distance and sound pressure level. Once we finished replacing my pitiful 23 gauge speaker wire with new 14 gauge the mic did it's magic and now I apparently possess a pro audio system. Unfortunately for me I'm not an audiophile so I couldn't tell any difference other than it gets louder, a feature Lisa is particularly thrilled with.
