Several companies make high end products that are marketed directly to consumers through mail order.
They represent good value, when they are good performers, but the problem is that, since the manufacturer sells direct, you can't audition the product in a dealer showroom. Instead, potential buyers must rely on reviews in magazines that care about giving these small companies some space and also care about letting readers know about products that give a major bang for the buck. Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity is such a magazine, and the Cinepro 600x is such a product. Although readers might not be familiar with the name Cinepro, apparently we have been listening to the industrial version for about 5 years. In listening to the Cinepro, we found that it has an extremely clean, crisp mid-range.
