"Really? Is this accurate? This statement might unintentionally scare two channel listeners away."Tvad, that's one reason I never really looked into it. According to most that I have talked to about it, they claim it is geared towards mutlichannel...

DVD-A is a separate format entirely. DVD-A is to DVD like SACD is to CD. (as far as formats go) DVD-A is multi channel audio, mostly.

Bluesky, I disagree 100%. 8000 dollars has nothing to do with the speaker not sounding good. It takes associated equipment, and the room for speakers to sound good, but it won't take 8000 dollars. "Sounding good" is a relative term. You could say ...

I could be wrong, but I thought nuvistors were only available from Musical Fidelity. I thought they kept a certain number around for repairs, and nothing else.

Why so many Rotel RCD-1072 players for sale ?

Cleaning & polishing premium-grade speakers
I agree with Elizabeth. Coming from a wood working background, I know there are others that are going to respsond with all kinds of oils and furniture polishes. I HIGHLY advise against this. A cotton T-shirt will do just fine. Oils and polishes ar... 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
Beheme, we tolerate criticism. We get it, you don't like B&W. Good for you. Where the BMW analogy came from is beyond me. I noticed you don't have a system posted. Most likely because the critic himself would never stand to be criticized. 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
I'm glad you can learn about all the products I have experience with in my system post. Talk about an open mind. You have no clue what gear I've been through.You are the one that needs to open their mind. It bothers you that I like a company that ...
