Greetings from (old stereo tech) newbie

I'm delighted to have found the shack, and appreciate the rules - I've spent years sharing classic airplane information on a strictly moderated forum, and really appreciate the friendly sense of community that emerges when interactions are always civil.

My home electronics background dates to 1970-71, when I worked for a small retail chain (Tech HiFi) and did custom installations before heading overseas. Decades later, and nearing retirement, I'm excited to explore all that's new in room acoustics and equipment as we make over a family room into a 7.1 HT.

It'll take me awhile to search through what's already available here, but I'm sure questions will arise soon enough -
