What one component should I not skimp on and why?

Jeff Colen (President, A Sharper Home, Inc.) gives expert video advice on: What one component should I not skimp on and why?; How are people using media in their homes?; What types of control systems are becoming popular? and more...

If there was one component I would say "Do not skimp out on," it would be your remote control. The reason for that is that if you do not buy a remote control, then it can totally detract from your audio and video listening experience. No one enjoys sitting down and trying to work a system that looks complicated or is frustrating to use, and frankly when you're sitting down you just want it to work. The remote control is probably the linchpin that makes it all hang together.
