I sometimes go online to see what products you have listed to watch out for. But, I must say that what I've read about the company "Theater Research" I definitely disagree with it! I too was approached by a couple selling a surround sound system out of the back of their truck. The box also stated the price of the system was $2,500.00. I decided to check into a possible good deal for myself. Before we started to bargain about the price, the couple alllowed me to look inside the box. To my surprise, I found five (5) chrome plated speakers (extremely heavy in weight, meaning heavy magnets to handle the watts) and a very large woofer (that looked extremely expensive). We agreed on a price that was a fraction of the cost on the box. Eventually, had this surround sound system installed to a new projection Home Theater System (cable,DVD,X-Box,etc.) When I questioned the technicians about the surround sound system they installed for me, they stated that "they had never heard of the Theater Research System that I had purchased". But, it seemed to be a very good system! I think it was a brilliant marketing scheme for a great product. I felt that I was just truly blessed to have been able to purchase this product. I read some of the articles about this situation. But, none of the authors stated how the system was after it was installed. I'm sure they feel the same way I do after their installation. Finally, I think it's only fair to "Theater Research" home theater system to print this rebuttal of this particular product. I do not work for "Theater Research". I'm just a consumer who feels like they received a great deal on a very good product.
