With streaming music, how do you see what the bit rate is, and what is
considered high quality?
Also, I know watts are not what's important on a reciever, is it amps
that matter? What specs do you look at to analyze the quality of the
sound delivery?

Some software will tell you. What software are you using?
and what is considered high quality?
320kbps or higher is considered high quality.

My ears suck, I should just use a transistor I guess...Although I did
buy a JBL surround package a few years ago that was 5 small/really
small speakers and a powered subwoofer for around $250. That sounded
terrible at even modest volume.
What receiver did you get for Christmas? Do you have your new DVD
player hooked up to it for digital dolby surround?

Well, I can't help you there. I don't use Rhapsody.

I hate those things. I just use full-range speakers. I don't have a use
for a subwoofer.

It's a Sony. I don't know the model.
Do you have your new DVD player hooked up to it for digital dolby
surround?
No, it's hooked up in the bedroom. It's just stereo. I've still got my
old surround sound system hooked up in the living room. I'm waiting
until I can afford a home theatre receiver to replace it.

I'd spend a fortune if I was partially deaf too...I mean if I can only
hear a very tiny frequency range I really need to make sure things can
truly go to 20k hz!

Good thinking, plus my cats have enormous auditory range and demand
quality for proper napping environment.
And your car should have a top speed of at least 155mph, your HDTV
should be capable of the unused 1080p standard, and always pick the
most expensive health plan your company offers, that ones a no
brainer.
But NEVER order a large coke when you're dining in and there are free
re-fills, what a complete waste of money.

No, you *DO* order the large. That way when you keep the cups from all
the different restaurants and pop in with the appropriate cup when you
swing by the restaurant you'll have plenty to take off with.
(Bonus if they offer the plastic action, it lasts SO much longer when
stored in the back of the car with all the other cheap waxed cups)
