Anchor Bay's Diva

Anyone who bought Fox Loeber's DVD of this early 80's French Noir thriller was treated to a terrible transfer and the worst sound I have ever heard on a DVD.

For the amplifier side, you might consider an Outlaw 750. Great bang for the buck. Very similar in design to the ATI 1505. I've had one for about 4 months now and I'm very satisfied with it. The...

Gotta agree with Ironsides on the Maggie MMGs. I think they are the best $500 speakers you can buy. Not much bass, but unmatched clarity in that price range.
