Heres my problem with this: He's giving advice for something he doesn't seem to know much about. I suppose this is good info for a fresh beginner...

He seems to only have the tv. No component cables for his wii, no blu-ray player, no A/V receiver, and "modest" speakers. Which is fine, you know, he says he needs to start "saving his pennies", and not everyone can afford this hobby.

My problem is that he doesn't talk about what to look for in a television. AT ALL. Draw a map, hide cables, measure to make sure you have room.

Bottom line- for an article on a site called "extreme tech", i'm not quite sure what its trying to accomplish. "I think one day I might need a 5.1 receiver, but not now... but you might. if its a good time for you, you might consider it maybe." Ugh.

Extreme Tech is geared toward the PC user. Granted they don't know much about the HD spectrum, they have some great articles on all things PC related.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they have one of the worst reputations amongst tech sites
