| The top ten reasons why..... Wow, I hadn't even thought about the "quad" possibilities!I have to admit, I added another "Harvey Signature Series"Wave, for a "state-of-the-art" home theater system. Thefact that these two $400.00 bargins can fit in with a $10,000.00 Sony state-... | |
| New Magnepan MG-20.1 First Thoughts?? The last word I've heard, is that dealers should be gettingor have gotten them this month. The dealer I spoke withlast (Minn.,Mn.) was to have them on display in two, or so,weeks. | |
| Best Sony XBR TV ever? Sutts, what is the model designation on the monitor version?Sounds like it might be the "Holy Grail". | |
| The top ten reasons why..... I hope y'all aren't joking... my Sony SCD-1 through my Bose"Special Edition" Wave (the ones with Paul Harvey'ssignature) is all the system I need....and I was able to pocket some money when I sold off the C.J./Magnepan stuff. | |
| Heard the Marantz SA14? 84audio, hope you have some luck with this post. I had donetwo in the past..with no response. The retailers I havetalked with speak highly of it, and it sounds good at theirshops..but I have yet to hear any owner feedback..esp. on"redbook". The st... | |
