How to setup a home theater system


Hey guys,

I know most of you are experts in the field, but I wrote an article on how to setup a basic home theater system for those looking for very basic advice and a couple of hand sketched connection diagrams:

Would love some feedback..

Thanks

With all due respect, your instructions and diagrams can be found in the user
manual of any AV receiver and your personal opinions had devalued the rest.

Personal opinions are perfectly fine for a message board posting but in my
opinion, they are inappropriate for an instructional article. I wish you would
have left them out and just stated the facts instead.
Dear Sidssp,

Your comment is indeed very true, and I re-iterate the fact that the diagrams are for basic readers which you are apparently not and can definitely be found in any user manual.

I respect your opinion about personal opinions and I hope you can respect mine as well.

Thanks for reading !
I agree with the above posters. You really are putting a label on a group of people and insulting them. I would delete all references to audiophiles and say something along the lines of: "Even though it takes time and effort to set up your system properly, don't fall into the trap of constantly tweaking your system to the detriment of actually enjoying it." That way you will be telling people how to do it right, rather than criticising other people for doing it wrong.
I totally agree. Even I don't agree with most of what I write and yes your suggestions do make sense...Thanks for reading !
"Audiophiles in my opinion are very unhappy people. I am yet to meet a happy audiophile who is content with his equipment. There is always something to tweak on and improve and it is a never ending game and it completely defeats the purpose of listening to good music and watching great movies."
Really, never? I am very content and love my system.
You should stick with the idea of how to set up a system, not judge others.
Sorry, I like the fact you're trying to help others, but I just don't care for the bias comments about our hobby.
