Re: Ayre DX-5 at $10,000 is a rebadged $500 OPPO.

Re: Revel Speaker Owners - Post about Revel Speakers here

I am very satisfied with the midrange reproduction of the Salon2's. Brass instruments are extremely natural, but somewhat forward in the presentation. If there is a negative, it might be that some...

Re: Best Sounding Speakers According to Scientific Tests

I don't see Revel included in the testing.

Re: OPPO BDP-83 Bluray player

Re: OPPO BDP-83 Bluray player

I have a few DVD-A's in my collection. I bought some off the DTS website a couple years ago, but that site is gone.

Is there anywhere I can find DVD-A for sale other than E-Bay?

Re: ML 502 Media Console

Thanks for the response, Cap'n.
