Last year was slim pickings; my favorite a/v purchase was a Nakamichi cassette deck.
This year will be a bonanza; I intend to get several new mid-fi Audio/HT components: a StudioTech U22T cabinet, a 1080p big screen (brand tbd), Wharfedale Diamond Series speakers (9.6, 9.CM and 9.1 or DFS), a universal disc player (brand tbd) and emotiva (probably Ultra) separates for amp and processor. It hurts my wallet to list it all at once.
