Rotel RSP-985

All the most obvious products people will consider when looking for something new in a certain category—not just a few over and over—or the ones almost no one will consider because they cost more than a couple of decent cars. Instead of reviewing the TNT for the nth time because there's a new "Mark" or something, I believe a lot of people, like me, say, "Okay, I know the TNT is good, but what about the Michell GyroDec or the Nottingham Analogue? What about the M

Mark Levinson/Madrigal integrated preamp and amp selling for around $6000

Components that kick ass for under $500 a pop. There are many of us out there who need bang for the buck, as our budgets have other priorities, yet we seek excellent sound.

Wilson Audio Specialties XS subwoofer. The reason is simple: It simply looks like a kick-ass sub.Does it integrate well with a varaiety of speakers without changing their sound characteristics?

MartinLogan Statement Evolution 2, Krell MRA

Stuff by Burmester; the AudioPhysic Libra loudspeakers; Krell's new preamp and 28c CD player. For someone who has only recently begun reading US audio mags, Krell is present only through references, not through featured reviews.

More McIntosh products - tuners, amps, preamps, cd players and dvd players, More Maranttz products - same groups as McIntosh suggested above.

CD PLAYER ROTEL RCD 991

Chord amplifiers. They have not been reviewed in your magazine yet, but are unique (perhaps together with Bryston) in being highly regarded in pro audio and high-end circles.

With higher-resolution digital formats on the way and the threat of multichannel audio being forced down the public's throat, it's not safe to buy anything except speakers, amplifiers, and accessories. Because I, like most people under 55, listen primarily to rock music, I'm only interested in systems that can play loud as well as clean. Preferably, the speakers reviewed would show maximum power handling, and corresponding output levels from 20Hz to 20kHz in the measurements section, especially since Audio magazine won't be around to do this anymore. Currently, the products I'm most interested in are: Amplifiers: Solid-state and at least 200Wpc ($1000-$4000). Speakers: True full-range speakers, with at least one 10" or two 8" woofers per cabinet, preferably 12" three-ways/four-ways ($2000-$6000). Cables: Speaker cables ($7-$20/foot), interconnects ($70-$200/pair), and power cables ($150-$300). I have no interest in the three Ts: tube equipment, turntables, or expensive tweaks.

Jolida JD1501 INTEGRATED HYBRED AMP.

I'd love to see more reviews of CD players, amps, and preamps in the $1000-$2000 range. The $2000-and-under-market is huge, yet your magazine never seems to concentrate on that area. Most folks will find a way to purchase something under two grand, but the minute that the prices start to climb above that limit, they look elsewhere. Help out the "$2k" crowd. Review more "truly affordable" products. Then I'll think about renewing my subcription!
