You can call it anything you want to, but for a basic home theater you 
will need a display screen and a playback device.

The seat cushions feature 1.8–density foam made of a revolutionary soy–based

The arms are feather–filled and the banded bases are finished with self–welting

Sweet!

This is a great idea, Alex - maybe we should add this feature to the 
"ideal" home office. We have a Schwinn Airdyne that we could put in 
there with a little shuffling of desks and furniture.

15 years ago a home theater was the domain of the yuppies and uber 
rich.  Nowadays anyone can afford a home theater especially if you cut 
the cable so you aren't paying those exorbitant monthly cable TV fees.  
Without that in a few months you've paid off all that gear.


But you're an old fart, Alex, according to the kids who prefer to watch 
shows on their 5" phones and not 85" TVs.


BTW, when is Amazon delivering that 85" set to you?
