grrrr, trying to watch a movie and my center channel sounds weird, but it is all inputs.... wonder if that channel is bad on receiver, i dont think it would be the speaker... hoping receiver, its an older denon but hell i got it for free so no complains. may look at another denon or harmon kardon next

Ok...Cool let me know what time...I will come up there if I can and hang out to help.

** find a good cheap receiver on CL...they are on there a dime a dozen. Especially after the holidays. Everyone got new shiet so they will be dumping their old stuff for cheap.

Snow pic:



Also,

There's an orange Z with black wheels that I saw on my street a couple nights ago parked near Preston Rd, and it just drove by, but of course I was in a G25 loaner. I assume they are visiting since I've never seen it before but I don't know for sure.

Thanks Mike...I figured might as well go shoot the Z out there in the snow...not to often you get the chance.
