July came in this year like September: cool, crisp night air and bright, clear days. The humidity and temperature remained low throughout the week I spent setting up the Denon AVR-4800 surround A/V receiver.

While there were great musical pleasures ahead, the path to music-surround knowledge was rougher than I ever imagined it might be.
