Nominations for Product of the Year

There were a lot of good products introduced in the last year. What do you think was the cream of the crop?

I liked the CJ Act 2 pre-amp, and I'm not even into tubes.

I was thinking that everyone who response to this with a good answer could pitch in $100 and we would all buy the Product of the Year for the guy who started the thread. Oh yeah, that's me! Thanks everyone!

Hey Lakefrontroad(s!),

No doubt the VR-11s are better. I got to hear them at length during CES in some after hours sessions when I had the fortunate opportunity of being included amongst the “guys” through a good friend of mine and Jtinn’s graciousness. AMAZING is all I can say about the 11s.

But, I think the 9s are a bit more universal in that they would be a good match for most rooms and deliver a generous portion of the 11s performance for less money. If you’ve got pockets that are deep enough, and a room that is big enough, 11s all the way. If not, and that covers the remaining 99% of us poor souls, the 9s get my vote.

Cheers,
-Dan
