I have never regarded sony as a major player in good audio gear but today I happened to come across some of their newer products. I must say that I didnt expect to find what I did. I don't know about quality, or sound, but these new pieces of gear actually look pretty decent.

Their speakers "SSX30ED, SSX70ED, SSX90ED" look more like B&Ws than anything else, complete with bi-wiring terminals, floor spikes, and those seperate tweeter enclosures.



"For the true Audiophile, the SS-X70ED speaker represents a significant advancement. With their innovative design, materials and exceptional craftsmanship, you’ll enjoy natural sound reproduction that’s warm, rich and vibrant."

"This X-series speaker with high-quality crossover has a unique enclosure design with sloped front surface to eliminate distortion from standing waves."

The Super Audio CD/DVD players also look very interesting, "AVDS500ES and AVDS700ES".

Has anyone had a chance to try out this gear?
