I know a few people who do triathlons and the occassional Ironman. I go to the gym at lunch and do weights, they sit on the exercise bike for the entire hour pedalling flat out. I would die of boredom... and that is literally 1/5-1/4 of their daily training.

With my surround, I dropped the front speaker master volumes and upped the rears because the fade was way out. It took a little fiddling with volume control to get all the appropiate controls up there to change.

'Winning' or 'losing' a war or battle can be quite a subjective thing.
