    Sony BDP-S370 vs Sony BDP-S790 vs Sony BDP-S7200

    Hi BB, The point I wanted to make was that despite comparing a budget player that was 5 years old against much newer, higher end and more expenseive players from the same stable (5 years is a long time in technology speak), the performance of the 370 still remains outstanding. Yes, the 790 and...

    Sony BDP-S370 vs Sony BDP-S790 vs Sony BDP-S7200

    I have had the 370 for close to 5 years now and having recently also had a 790 and a 7200 and having the opportunity to compare them, I am astounded by good a blu-ray player the 370 still is! I sold both the 790 and 7200.

    Tannoy Hts101 or Boston Acoustics Soundware XS?

    Yes, the Tannoy speakers are far superior in terms of scale and power. I have the Tannoy speakers now and also had the Boston XS previously so I can give you a qualified opinion of the choice between the two. The Boston XS is very tiny, if space is your concern and it is cheaper, yes - but if...

    Tannoy Hts101 or Boston Acoustics Soundware XS?

    The BA XS is 'your pick' based on what exactly? Have you listened to both?

    Oppo BDP-130D vs Sony BDP-S790

    You keep saying you can see no difference in picture quality so why did you dictch your BD60 and get the Oppo? Btw, a Denon DVD2500Bt still beats an Oppo.

    Onkyo TX-NR626

    Yes, I have always wondered why the 616 was not reviewed...probably because it was useless. But factually, the 626 IS the replacement for the 616, so showing the 515 based on a 'price-point' basis just because 616 was never reviewed doesn't sound quite right. Don't you think, Big Boss?

    AKG K451

    I don't think so unless Richer Sounds sell fakes! To my ears they were very flat sounding and had zero dynamism..... 'Crisp and authoritative' it definitely isn't, I'm afraid. :doh: Thanks everyone for their input. Correction : My SoundMagic is the E10.

    Onkyo TX-NR626

    I don't understand something... In your unboxing video, you compared the 626 to the 515....why? :? Isn't this the replacement for the rather troublesome 616??? :O Also, I presume the 525 is the replacement for the 515?? :doh:

    AKG K451

    My AKG K451 finally arrived, after much anticipation. I needed something that would stay as both my SoundMagic E30 and Dr Dre Monster PowerBeats kept falling off. What I am astounded by is it's sound quality - It's RUBBISH. How did What Hi-Fi give it a Product of THE YEAR 2012 Award and 5...
