    The McIntosh MXA60 celebrates 60 years of audio awesomeness

    If I was suddenly to get John Biggs’ salary, I would dump a ton of money into McIntosh equipment. They are the best of the best in the audio world and the new compact MXA60 would fit perfectly in my bedroom. And bathroom. Yes, I would put a $7,500 audio system in my bathroom if [...]

  • Sony outs the wireless, but overpriced, XBR10 BRAVIA LCD

    Sony outs the wireless, but overpriced, XBR10 BRAVIA LCD

    We knew that when Sony announced the beautiful ZX5 in Europe a US model shouldn't be that far behind. And sure enough, Sony just announced the XBR10 which is pretty much a cloned version.

    We knew that Sony was working on Blu-ray MegaChangers since CEDIA 2008, but we didn’t know that it would take almost a full year to get our hands on ‘em. Anyway, here they are: the $800 BDP-CX960 and the $1900 BDP-CX7000ES. What’s the difference you say? Well, actually, plenty - not $1,100 worth, but there is a [...]

    When we first spent some time with the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player way back last September at CEDIA, we walked away impressed and anxious to get our hands on the player. Well, 11 months later we’re pleased to report that it is finally available for purchase. Yay! The $500 player isn’t the cheapest on the block, but [...]
