AMR CD-77

Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ???
Duke: The third link you posted is especially curious. How would anyone other than the manufacturer and perhaps their dealers (but BRSE only sells direct, eliminating that possibility) know of a review yet to be published?Yup, it looks like a duck.

Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
I noticed the 6moons review now spans four pages and includes listening impressions.
