60. Clark Synthesis Tactical Transducer (accessory)
 Whether
you are standing on stage or luxuriating in your Hot Springs home spa
or playing a movie at awesome volumes, the Clark Transducer creates
low-frequency energy that goes lower that practically every subwoofer
we have ever seen.
59. Parasound Halo P3 (stereo preamp)
 Finally,
cool-looking audio that people can afford. The fact it looks great is
secondary to the audio performance that Brian Kahn loves.
 58. MartinLogan Descent (subwoofer)
MartinLogans are famous loudspeakers, but they have never been known
for their ultra-low bass. That is, until now. This sub is based on
technology derived from MartinLogan’s $70,000 E2 Statement speakers and
fits nicely even in non-ML speaker systems.
57. Mark Levinson No.436 (amp)
 The
days of the high-end Mark Levinson amp being parked between your
speakers is coming to an end. Now it is parked in your equipment rack
and it sounds even better.
56. Philips Pronto (remote control)
The original touch screen remote remains one of the best and most
affordable ways to make your system behave without pulling off a
balancing act with 12 remotes.
 55. Revel Studio (loudspeaker)
Physically smaller than the Salons, the Revel Studios get very groovy for way less money than their bigger sisters.
54. Transparent Power Isolator (AC power)
 Ed Masterson and Bryan Southard swear that this unsung hero is one of the best AC power devices on the market.
53. Krell TAS (amplifier)
 Krell
amps are legendary but rack-mounting three FPB600’s might just be
physically impossible. The TAS packs big Krell power into a more
feasible, home theater-friendly package.
52. Kenwood Sovereign DV5700 (DVD player)
 A
handful of AR reviewers use this player as their DVD-Audio player of
choice. Do not miss out on the internal Faroudja video processor, all
for under $1,000.
 51. MartinLogan Aeon-I (loudspeakers)
Part of the beauty of MartinLogans is their within-reach pricing in the
world of high-end loudspeakers. The Aeon-I’s will take you places
musically that more traditional speakers will not.
