You could have saved yourself a whole bucket 'o money if you had built your own interconnects from here:

They serve me well in my own humble system

I don't think I've ever read it stated quite so clearly before, but yes, I think he's right on.

Hey Joe Average, played with any Howitzers. lately?

Soundhound,

While I've previously checked-out your theatre pics, this time something about your "system two" photo caught my eye. Is that a Yamaha YST-SW80 sub (or similar) that I see?

Dang good (and inexpensive) line of subs that was - especially in a stereo set-up with two (relatively small) speakers. I still use one with a pair of Radio Shack Minimus 7's in my living room / dining room for relatively quiet to moderate listening levels. I've even used that sub in my second home theatre room off-and-on and it holds up very well.

All I need now is an $800 subwoofer interconnect and I'm all set.

Regards.

Jeff:

Yep, that is a Yamaha YST-SW 60 powered sub, and it works well with the optimus (where do they get those silly names?) speakers on stands. They actually sound quite decent considering they cost something like $20! Unfortunately, I had to make due with my home brew interconnects, but what the hell, I can't hear the difference anyway...

Lena:

Nope, no howitzers, no mortars, no rifle propelled grenades....I'd have to go to Iraq to hear those...
