Dude, i feel you here.
My ol man had a HT built in his basement when he finished it. He asked my advice, but he didnt take it. He asked me about the Bose Accoustimass systems and i told them they were more hype than anything else, and he could get better sound for far less.
He now has a Bose accoustimass system running, with a Yamaha Reciever that does not even power his speakers, instead the power is redived from the bass module.
I dont like it, and he could have gotten better if he had listened to my advice, but here is the simple truth of it.
He thinks it sounds fantastic, he is confident he bought a good product, and he is proud of his HT setup. I could tell him that he wasted money, but in his mind he diddnt. And telling him this would only give him the impression that i think he is stupid. With 3 masters degrees 4 bachelors degrees and like 5 associates degrees, there is no way he can be an idiot.
Plus when he watches a movie with big explosions, and the sound shakes the room and h gets that grin on his face, he obviously got what he wanted.
I like a crab and steak dinner, but sometimes i would rather have a cheeseburger
