I have friends, but only one who cares about sound, so when he stops by I surrender the sweet spot and pace around like a penguin dad that can't find his egg. I also have kids, and they refuse to put their laptops away when they watch a movie with me. The older one, 16, even tries to keep one earbud in until I spot it! What is this world coming to? I'm just saying 4.0 works for me because I'm the only one that gives a s"""!
I have this demo scene from Inglorious Basterds Blu-ray with the David Bowie song that I played for my son today. He was pissed that I made him get off the couch, and even more pissed when I told him he had to leave his laptop behind and LISTEN. He said, "Dad, I've seen this movie a hundred times." I said where?" "Bit torrent"
That said, the 880 has to be the most beautiful center channel speaker on the planet, and if it sounds anything like the Array 1400, it has to be the most beautiful sounding center channel on the planet.
