Well, that was thankfully hassle-free. I brought those extra speakers back to BestBuy today and I didn't get any grief for it. Whew.
The only ironic thing as of right now is that I've spent most of the past week or so downloading concert DVD rips of Morning Musume. Yes, I went to the trouble of re-encoding the 2006 "Hello Project" spectacular to DVD video but sadly it, the format of choice for rippers remains 2-channel stereo so the best I can manage is watching it in Dolby Prologic and "fake" the surround-sound to my new speakers.
Oh, and by the way, the folks at Hello Online are still hard at work remastering the series of Ayaka Surprise English Lesson clips (3rd batch released to their torrent tracker today!) Be sure to check it out if you think you can handle the cuteness. Nothin' like watching the MoMusu gals reacting to Ayaka's questions with utter confusion... But then, if you can handle that, give the "Wonderful Hearts" concert a try... with something like 50 girls on stage at the same time singing and dancing (that's 5 or 6 of the Hello Project groups performing together), it'd put a diabetic in the hospital. "Kawaii-des, neh?!!"
Edit (about 24hrs later): I've just discovered from the YesAsia web store that a lot of these Japanese concert DVDs are produced ONLY in 2-channel linear-PCM! I find that really weird since I've always had the impression that the Japanese of all people would be producing really hi-tech videos using the latest formats like DTS or at least Dolby Digital 5.1... Huh. Weird.

It seems the whole world regardless of country, doesnt care about the quality of audio/video recordings. They just want to get the stuff out the door fast and make a quick buck!
