Koerner There are really two types of stereo users in this world: those who will settle for nothing less than all-tube pre-amps with speakers bigger than a fat man’s coffin, and those who make do with all-in-one shelf systems.

LCD TVs are usually found only in smaller sizes. Usually, when you think big and flat, you think plasma. It’s not that there’s much sense to this, it’s just the way the CE industry has been marketing things—and it’s finally changing.
