Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information


Thanks to Pete for bring this player to my attention, because it is certainly NOT well documented.
Which leads me to a few questions about this player ...

#1- Why would a player that originally sold new for $5000 now sell new for $1000 ???

#2- If it was a truly great $5000 player that is now a virtual steal, why doesn't EVERYONE use it ???

#3- Does anyone find it interesting that none of the major magazine publications reviewed it ? ie; Stereophile, Absolute Sound, Hi Fi + ... ect ?

Don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not being rude with these questions. This is just the questions that came to my mind after doing some research on this product.

Sure makes me wonder how this player would stack up against players like the Cambridge 840C and the Marantz 8001 .... Too bad there's no articles comparing them.

Gregm : I wasn't being sarcastic or snide. I just honestly wondered about the answers to the questions I posted. It just seemed a little odd to me, and I wanted to fish for some more info before I purchase one.

Psacanli : I was not aware of this ... thanks.
I sure do appreciate evryone's input and advice. I spent another day searching the web, and found an additional couple of reviews on the RT-20. It seems this is what I'll be buying. I'll just get a cheap Blu Ray player later if I feel the need.
