Have any of you ever heard Snell speakers? I still own my Snell type K/II's and love them. I've never heard the XA towers, but I'd imagine a company like Snell's "flagship" speaker would have to be pretty amazing.
The Rel subwoofer is the only thing I've ever heard other than a Hsu what truly amazed me. Granted, it's $3000, but wowwie, wow, wow, wow. Now THAT's some bass. (And it looks nice too.)
I don't think the ultimate processor has been made for me yet. I'd want something like that nifty calibration system the new receivers have. I'd want full HD video switching. Multiple DVI inputs...and it'd have to come in silver.

But you're missing a miniature video screen right on the front!

Mark Levinson!! Although personally, I find that screen on the video processor unattractive.

Same here. It would be distracting. I suppose they need *something* flashy and "mine's better than yours" like that to justify the price....

I agree...I don't quite understand the point of the little mini-screens. The new Rotel RSP-1098 has one. It's flashy, but seems quite pointless. Save the money and put that savings into the guts of the piece I say.

For me or FP users it would be excellent because the menu system can only be viewed if the monitor out on the receiver/processor is connected to the FP or another video device which is a pain.

Hadn't thought of that. I suppose it would come it pretty handy during initial setup and any other time you didn't want to fire up your display device.
I certainly hope you can turn the display off, though.

Anybody heard the new Snell subwoofer? It supposedly has REALLY "fast" bass.
It's called the Mox Snell.
Sorry.

I see there's a Halloween theme in there, too. Speaker ghosts!
