This year my rent passed the $1,000 mark. There’s something about a four-figure number that intimidates people.

AudioControl Concert AVR-1 A/V Receiver

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:18:00 EST

The AudioControl Concert AVR-1 embodies the paradox of high-end A/V receivers. Befitting an audiophile product, its Class H amplification can take an input signal and fill a room with commendable transparency and power. At the same time, it departs from strict fidelity to the input signal by offering pragmatic features like Dolby Volume and room correction. Let’s take a closer look at its dual nature.
