In his early teens, Greg Handy installed car audio systems where working with both passive and active crossovers, subwoofers, and challenged acoustics, along with constant ground hum was the norm. It was here that he learned how the effects of wiring and cables made a difference in regards to noise. As home audio began incorporating some of these same products, his interests grew to home audio and home theater systems. As an audio and home theater enthusiast, he read hundreds of reviews on audio and home theater equipment from all the major audio publications of that time. Once a homeowner, he began installing sound systems and theater systems in different rooms, spending much time and money along the way. It was not long that he began doing the same for friends and family. After many lessons learned with good and bad purchase decisions, and installation gaffs and successes, he became an experienced audio enthusiast, and believed he could contribute to the industry as a writer for HomeTheaterReview.com.
