I'll have to remember your buyer's negotiating technique every time I look at a house for sale and see a substandard theater system which is 99.99% of them. I'll just say it's going to take $100,000 to bring just the theater room up to speed.... Heck, I am sure you know more than that AV expert and could probably follow him around and critique all of the tens of thousands of dollars it would take to bring ANY of HIS systems up to speed!! Unbelievable!!!
