** In that case, I can tell you that wont be able to find anything as good
as XA7ES for $200USD. I don't read Audio magazines or online reviews but I
do trust my ears and cheapo CD players is no where near as good as flagship
models players like XA7ES. Even with DVD players ( though I am not into home
theatre that much ) the difference in picture &sound between a cheap DVD
players and top range DVD players are apparent.

One of my friends bought a pair of Acoustic Image from the "White Van Scam"
gang awhile ago. Even though I told him that those speakers consist of cheap
drivers and probably don't have cross-over networks and they sounded
*horrible* comparing many other budget speakers ( Dali, Jamo ). He did not
believe me and total convinced that they were as good as Dynaudio Contour
series which he have heard in the HiFi shop. Until I have found an article
about the scam and shown him and ever since then they have been used as
seats. This shows you how convinced people can be until.........
