To sum up, woofers, subwoofers and home theatres are essential components in our lives, whether at home, cars etc. They add life to the already existing environment because they tend to bring a connection between our inner selves and the outside world. These audio systems are now manufactured to fit every client’s needs and pocket ability, I don’t mind getting one for myself, do you?
I love the way u have pointed out the difference between what a woofer is, and a hometheater.and the indepth information on various music Audio brands…..touching on the nitty gritty that is often ingnored by buyers….and kept hidden by vendors….and u really did hit the nail on the head when u outlined the main reasons folks look for when purchasing music systems;taste and brand rank very high in some people…..hope u do a review on Home audio Amplifiers esp now that we have most flooding the market.
