Every time I go to someone's house and hear 5.1 mini-satelites, it sounds like I'm listening to a bunch of clock radios placed around the room. Terrible! Add to that the ghetto-car-trunk-buzz subwoofer and it only makes things worse. I politely say nothing but always wish they would just turn off the 5.1 system and listen to the little oval speakers built-in to the TV set. Wouldn't be any worse.

Music or movies, either way, the sound system must be complete with proper high-quality speakers!
