Background

In building this community, one of the most difficult decisions we encountered was the organization of content. There are several axes of information around which we could organize, but settled on the following:

• Consumer electronics product category (MP3 player, Digital Camera, etc.)
• Type of article (Knowledge, Experience, Opinion)
• Order in which article was submitted
• Usefulness of the article

It's no secret that it takes a lot of knowledge to truly understand the world of home audio, which is littered with confusing numbers and terms. Wattage, current, distortion, frequencies, and impedance are just a few of the specifications anyone looking for an amplifier of home theater receiver is going to come across. With the thousands of choices in each category, it takes a little bit of background to use these specifications to make a great choice.
