    Best Bookshelf under 1000

    Von Schweikert's, boring, beauty is only skin deep. The fit and finish on the VR-1's is very good. All components are top notch. I've owned a pair since returning from CES and they sound better in many ways then my Mirage OM-7's. When needed, I use my sub to augment the bottom end. I've got over...

    Denon SD-2900 Universal Player

    Just got back from CES 2003 and saw the new Denon DVD / DVD-A / SACD player. Expected ship date is March / April. This thing is built like a tank. The unit was just a static display and was not hooked up. Price, $999. Pioneer should look out for this one. Typical Denon built, fit, and finish...

DVD Audio is nice but not my cup of tea. Unfortunatly, my snobbish thinking could not get over paying...

    Setting Up a Pioneer DV-45A

    I've had the 47Ai for a week now and have had no problems with bass output. I've got more bass then I know what to do with in two channel using SACD and CD analog. It's my understanding that bass management in two channel does not work. L/R channels are analog direct with no digital filtering...
