    Stereophile oddity

    In their recommended components, Stereophile lists the 802D as Class "A" and they are significantly less expensive than any other Class "A" speaker but the more expensive Revel gets the $$$ symbol for a best value, not the 802D. Odd.

    There would be a range within Class A products, so it could be a bit more expensive but alot better. Although I do believe they now have an A plus level as well, if I am not mistaken. Or it could be an omission.

    Maybe Kal can answer this, assuming he is still lurking around the forum.

      He is often on the avsforum so it might be worth asking there.

        It seems strange but I have no idea. The person to ask is JA as he makes all the final decisions.

          Stereophile's JA discusses Caps!
          by ---k---
          I got a good chuckle while reading the August issue of Stereophile (I only read it for the measurements! ). On page 76 and 77 of John Atkinson's (whom I respect) review of the Esoteric MG-20 speakers(which I recently spent 30 minutes listen to at a local dealer), he states:

          New RDC-7 Review in Stereophile Guide to Home Theater
          by Burke Strickland
          Anyone see the latest "Stereophile Guide To Home Theater"? The October 2003 issue has a review of the fully upgraded Integra Research RDC-7, a follow-up review by the same critic who raved about it in the February 2001 issue.

          You rarely see any write ups about the TotalDAC series in the USA, mainly because of their nearly non-existent distribution in the USA. It is possible to arrange for an audition in the Dallas area, but you can hardly say that TotalDAC is taking the US by storm....
