I think its a result of unrealistic expectations caused by rapid changes in the formats available and their distribution/transmission.

10 years ago Meridian brochures used to highlight the fact that their kit rarely appeared in the 'For Sale' ads in mags.

As was pointed out in another thread a G9x costs $7k , a Pioneer Bd player costs $1500 and a Toshiba Hdvd player less than $1k . All of these machines have similarities but they aso have differences . The Tosh player upscales video as does the G . The Bd player doesnt play Cds. We're not comparing like with like.

I wish I was just getting into M kit now with these great 2nd hand prices wink

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
