Iam,
I am considering a 2.1 setup for the BR. I am thinking 4" tang band bamboo cone running rull range + 8" sub ported.

This 2.1 amp from PE does 50w for subs $ 4 ohm, 25w for speakas @ 8. I can use the audio out from a cheapass DVD player to make it work.

Or should I just get a "real" receiver and use it as a 2.1...meaning bi-amp the fronts and then get a nicer (10 or 12") sub.

The second option is a bit more expensive, and I don't know if you can use the channels in that way due to processing.

I like this: http://www.jamo.com/Default.aspx?ID=6358&M=Shop&PID=15706&ProductID=18073

as an alternative, and just do the sub later. My local person wants like $500 for it....but I am a fan of the sleek style for the bedroom, plus it's compact and "all-in-one".

I don't put much stock in BR setups, so your plan sounds solid and would give you the "I did it" factor over just buying something.

I don't know much about the bamboo cone but I was amazed at this driver when I used it in my center channel.

It has nice midbass in the ported enclosure I built for the center. I used it in a 2 way setup though, so I don't know how detailed it is up top, but it is for the bedroom so it should be fine. I did choose it so I could use a high crossover point with the dayton planar I coupled it with.

I see the bamboo claims a higher response but the one I linked claims 14k and I doubt for your application the 20k response of the bamboo is necessary for $17 more per driver.

I am willing to bet you would be satisifed with the driver I linked. If not you can blame me and curse me out as not knowing shit for shit.

I don't buy into the 5.1 hype though...
I am looking for more of an aesthetic appeal versus good sound.

For movies, 5.1 is more than hype. For BR viewing though it is too much.

I don't know about the philips sound bar you post but some brand has something similar I heard in BB and wasn't impressed.

Building cabinets and making them aesthetically appealing will keep you from trolling the forum as much though until they are finished.

My bathroom habits have changed drastically in the past week or so.

Normally, I'll wake up, drop a deuce at around 8:15. Before lunch at work, I'll pee at around 1:00, and then drop another deuce at around 4:00-4:30.

Over the past week, I've maintained my morning droppage, but now find myself dropping another deuce at around 12:00-12:30 in the afternoon. Eating habits have remained constant.

Build up slowing and splitting the process? Perhaps a colon blow is in order. Please post results afterwards.

You make a good point.

That's all the incentive I need.

When contacting government agencies why does it seem like you can never get a hold of anyone that can actually help you. Hell sometimes you just can't get anyone at all. I am writing my state rep.
