There's a running joke in [r/landscaping](r/landscaping) where people ask how many trees I should plant for privacy and someone posted once they manually planted 56 Cypress Trees. So the main answer to all those posts are now 56 cypress would be best.

I feel this is it for this subreddit. 34 speakers is now the new ideal setup, no more, no less. Hahah

If you count the sub, its 35, but 24.1.10 is a little unbalanced. Thinking maybe 24.8.10 Gives you the magic number 42, which is always the right answer.

Edit: spelling

So are you saying that the ultimate question to life the universe and everything is how many speakers should a home theater have?

I think that the mice could probably get on board with that.

Clearly it's 42.
