I can believe it 84audio. I have often been sucked into the raves, but invariably found that the raves have to be read in the context of the price range of the product. Every time I have heard the claim "better than units ten times the price" these have turned out to be rubbish when I tried the unit. The Bel Canto sounds like a great buy - at its price - and we shouldn't be surprised, but thanks for placing the Bel Canto into appropriate context.

Will DVD-A discs play thru the Bel Canto /Pioneer DVD525?

I have owned the Bel Canto which sounded great but had major problems with loud pops when I skipped songs. This could have resulted in speaker damage. I upgraded to Muse. This is the best I have heard.
