thanks for the heads-up, greg.
i'm in theprocess of choosing a home-theater/automation company to work with (Media Systems in Boston; Audio Video Design, Wellesley; or Multimedia in Wilmington). they'll do the initial programming, but i fully expect to geek out on it after the fact, so thanks for hte pointers!
i've never been to goodwin's high end - one of these days.
natural sound is a nice bunch of guys, but they're really audio folks. i have negative Meridian experiences every time i go in there, which is a bummer.
