    She’s a honker…

    For some reason, I was quite amused and entertained by this video of Chris Pirillo unboxing some Logitech Z-5500 speakers. The speakers look nice, though a setup like this won’t work for me because I need multiple outputs to hook to my Roland TD-10 V-Drums. So I need to hook the computer to a receiver and the receiver to my drums. I’m actually starting to look around for a new receiver / amplifier. I currently have one I bought off my buddy Reeves but I don’t like it much. Largely because its a Sony. But also because the center channel refuses to work with my Xbox 360 and the remote control seems to have bit the big one. Any suggestions? I’m looking for something decent but inexpensive that does surround sound and has several optical inputs, and is NOT a Sony product. Maybe something like this Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K, though actually this might be overkill for what I need.
