New NAD Reference AVR Brings the Sexy
John Sciacca  |  Sep 13, 2019
Most AVRs have the same, plain, bland look to them. Black chassis, couple of knobs, some buttons, and a two-line LCD display that provides some basic information.

Paradigm Debuts Slim Three-Channel Soundbar
Al Griffin  |  Sep 12, 2019
