Why do most blokes insist on spending lots of money on home cinema systems even though in many cases they can't even put the volume up to do it justice, nor do they spend enough time watching it to justify the enormous cost.

Because I can afford the luxury dear boy.
BTW: I can have the volume as loud as I like. I also have a set of virtual surround sound head phones that work incredibly well too.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

It doesnt cost much to set up a half decent home cinema - you can get an AV amp for £100-200 and a speaker package for another £200-400.
You can always spend more but diminishing returns kick in at some point.
I've just had an old Denon amp driving two Tannoy speakers for years - its perfectly good for movies / music / Xbox / media player.The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of HeavenComment
