    Trading Amplifier Quality for Features – A New Trend with A/V Receivers?

    Be careful believe what any of those guys claim. Realize most of them will be willing to sell you cable snake oil in the same breath of making such unfounded statements. Yamaha receiver business is strong and sustained. I doubt Pioneer will stop making receivers too. I call BS on all of this!

    Best Tweeter Technology Floorstanding SPEAKERS

    It is a very difficult material to work with and it's an uber expensive process too. This is why speakers that employ 100% true beryllium drivers are often very pricey. The BE tweeter RBH uses in their Status line costs $500/ea! Is it worth it? Well, on paper I don't see much of an...
