Denon AVR-3806 series

The AVR-3806 is the successor to Denon's best-selling receiver of all time, the AVR-3805. When you stop and consider that the AVR-3805 was many times pricier than Denon's more affordable receivers, that accomplishment seems even more remarkable.

Sennheiser HD 600

When Steve Guttenberg reviewed the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, he rightfully called them "fit for a king"--while noting that they retail for a correspondingly princely sum of $500.
