Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information

Thanks to Pete for bring this player to my attention, because it is certainly NOT well documented.
Which leads me to a few questions about this player ...

#1- Why would a player that originally sold new for $5000 now sell new for $1000 ???

#2- If it was a truly great $5000 player that is now a virtual steal, why doesn't EVERYONE use it ???

#3- Does anyone find it interesting that none of the major magazine publications reviewed it ? ie; Stereophile, Absolute Sound, Hi Fi + ... ect ?

Don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not being rude with these questions. This is just the questions that came to my mind after doing some research on this product.

Sure makes me wonder how this player would stack up against players like the Cambridge 840C and the Marantz 8001 .... Too bad there's no articles comparing them.

Lexicon is planning/releasing a blu-ray player next year.A few dealers dumped these units cheaply.
I have heard this unit at a friends' home and highly recommend it.In fact I told another friend and he also bought one.For $900+,it is a solid performer with very good CD sound and the same on DVDs.It still won't play blu-ray,but a lot of machine for the money.
