Now that I don't review DVDs professionally, I almost never watch the commentary tracks. Like most folks, I feel I could use that time watching a movie I've never seen before&mdash;yet, a few (a very small few) of 'em are interesting or amusing.

in-wall<br>
custom installation<br>
active speaker systems<br>
multi-channel processors
