Nominations for Product of the Year

There were a lot of good products introduced in the last year. What do you think was the cream of the crop?

I liked the CJ Act 2 pre-amp, and I'm not even into tubes.

I was thinking that everyone who response to this with a good answer could pitch in $100 and we would all buy the Product of the Year for the guy who started the thread. Oh yeah, that's me! Thanks everyone!

Dlwask,

You should have heard the VR-11's.

They're better.

Hey Lakefrontroad(s!),

No doubt the VR-11s are better. I got to hear them at length during CES in some after hours sessions when I had the fortunate opportunity of being included amongst the “guys” through a good friend of mine and Jtinn’s graciousness. AMAZING is all I can say about the 11s.

But, I think the 9s are a bit more universal in that they would be a good match for most rooms and deliver a generous portion of the 11s performance for less money. If you’ve got pockets that are deep enough, and a room that is big enough, 11s all the way. If not, and that covers the remaining 99% of us poor souls, the 9s get my vote.

Cheers,
-Dan
