Tweekanaals versterker:
Cambridge Audio Azur 840A
Cambridge Audio has spared no costs in its development of the Azur 840A. Within its case there is an army of audiophile-grade components reinforcing a power amplification section offering 'Class XD' operation - a genuinely novel approach that combines Class A warmth and lack of distortion with the low temperature operation of Class B. This makes for a highly sophisticated, efficient and attractive-sounding amplifier, backed by a high current capability and an amazingly fast transient response. With 2x120 Watt RMS (8 Ohms) on tap there is power aplenty, yet its rich sound brings music to life with renewed charm. Excellent connectivity (including balanced and exclusive multi-room inputs) and a sensible price complete the package.

Compacte luidspreker:
B&W 685
Near the 600 Euro price level, B&W's 685 is hard to beat. Its 16cm Kevlar mid-woofer features a profiled cast basket, and thanks to B&W's latest aluminium tweeter with a small neodymium magnet, the two drive units can be located much closer together, achieving a wider vertical angle of coherent response. A foam ring and bung enable users to fine-tune the front-facing reflex port for optimal tonal balance and low-frequency control in locations close to a wall and out in the room. This design is powerful, efficient and well-balanced, and looks as good as it sounds with a choice of four contemporary enclosure finishes.

Home theater receiver:
Onkyo TX-SR605
Onkyo's TX-SR605 is a very talented performer. It's the first AV Receiver to include HDMI 1.3, and offer decoding of new sound formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby True HD. But it's also a powerful home cinema amplifier that provides a true 7.1-channel output, compatibility with 1080p and Deep Color (xvYCC) video signals, as well as Faroudja de-interlacing. The built-in Audyssey 2EQ enables swift and easy automatic calibration in any room, but what's really amazing is the extremely competitive price. The Onkyo is a superb future-proof buy for the true enthusiast and the more cost-conscious consumer alike.

Compacte fotocamera:
Panasonic DMC-TZ3
The Panasonic DMC-TZ3 is a very compact camera with a sharp 28-280mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens. As the 28mm wide angle and 10x zoom range cover every popular focal length, this is a great camera for travelling and for holidays. The AF system is fast and responsive, while the optical image stabilizer permits using the telephoto settings without a tripod. The nickname 'Traveller' is very well chosen.

HD-ready plasmatelevisie
Panasonic TH-42PV70/PX70
For movie enthusiasts, plasma displays are still the most cinematic performers, especially in terms of their black level capability. For the perfect illustration of this point, look no further than Panasonic's TH-42PV70 plasma display (TH-42PX70 with built in DVB-T tuner in some countries). This product line redefines plasma performance with its 10th Generation panel. It arrives ready for HD with a 1080p-compatible HDMI input, and delivers almost perfect picture quality out of the box thanks to Panasonic's advanced Vreal2 image processing. Thus performance is assured, but so too is convenience: the Viera Link feature lets this product's handset control compatible companion products such as DVD players and the like. Most impressive of all, however, is the highly affordable price.

DVD/HDD-recorder
Panasonic DMR-EX87
The DMR-EX87 is a complete home entertainment solution. On one hand it's a superb digital video recorder, with recording options including a 250GB hard disk that can store up to 400 hours of video, a multi-format compatible DVD recorder, and a SD compatible card slot. On the other hand it's also a DVB-T receiver, incorporating new tuner circuitry that can maintain stable signal reception even under poor signal conditions. Special upconversion technology can produce high-resolution 1080p images from DVD movies and TV broadcasts, delivered via HDMI. To ensure audio reaches the same standards, there's a 192kHz/24bit DAC audio system and audiophile grade SILMIC electrolytic capacitors. Performance, elegance and simplicity - all in all a winning combination.

Memory Camcorder
Panasonic DMR-EX87
By eliminating tapes and disks in favour of SD memory cards as a recording medium, Panasonic has made the HDC-SD1 one of the world's smallest and most reliable High Definition (1080i) camcorders. To get the most from its HD recording capability, the HDC-SD1 employs a Leica Dicomar lens with 12x optical zoom and a 3 CCD picture sensor, backed up by an optical image stabilizer. Sound is equally impressive: built-in microphones capture 5.1 channel surround. Using the AVCHD file format, up to 45 minutes of recordings can be stored on the supplied 4GB SDHC card, and the joystick working as a soft key makes this camcorder very easy to operate.
