I know that words like Champagne or Red Wines, make things more glamourous or more luxurious… (Red Wine not really but hey… I don’t drink any alcohol…), and this “Art de vivre” style seems to be very fashionable in Korea. This is why the new HT762TZR, a 5.1 audio system for TV and VIDEO, use the shape of Champagne glasses and the “Bordeaux” color of Red Wine… Yeah I know 100% bad taste… Who poor wine in champagne glasses?
So after Alcoholics design, shall we expect the Junkie design anytime soon ?

Denon will put its new SACD player/amp on the market on mid-July, the RCD-CX1.
Well, actually… two years ago, we talked about two products made by the same maker and which are quite similar to this one! ([url = http://www.akihabaranews.com/news-12619-X.html] See the news here [/ url]). So what’s new?
Nothing special! It’s the same product, but in only one box!
Our amplifier will always provide a maximum power of 2×75W, with the L24 processing… That is all. To get this “new” amp, you’ll have to spend around 1000€!

Sony’s HT-IS100 feature the same elfin speakers found on 2007’s DAV-I. The 5.1-channel home-theater system includes five speakers that are just 1.7 inches in diameter. Although the unit was announced in the Japanese market recently, they will make an appearance Stateside next month. The new system doesn’t have a built-in disc player, or even a “head unit”; however all of the electronics and amplifiers are consolidated into the system’s subwoofer, so there’s no need for a separate AV receiver. Three HDMI inputs, built-in AM/FM radio, and Sony’s DCAC autocalibration system are included. It is compatible with a variety of proprietary Sony accessories, including the S-AIR Air Station speakers (for expanding the audio to a multiroom setup) and Sony’s quartet of Digital Media Port accessories.

To eliminate front-to-back speaker cables one can opt for the WAHT-SA10 wireless kit, which is sold separately. The Sony DAV-IS100 will be available in July for $700.
