Re: How do you afford HT... what's your profession?


In short. I can't.


I have learnt to DIY anything that doesn't require a license (e.g a DSP with dts and dolby algorithims)
And compromise on everything else until you have nothing left to compromise on. I have only been putting together my theatre since start 2007. Fortunately I studied electronic engineering and have experience in pro audio which has given me a reasonable foundation for room accoustics and speaker building. I expect it will take 3-5 years before I have finished all the electronics to play back 7.1. Mind you the only thing I can't DIY is the media source and digital decoders.
