CNN and Japanese newspapers are reporting that top executives from Toshiba and Sony are slated to meet this week to try to work on a compromise that would create one HDTV capable disc for consumers in the near future. Currently Sony has its Blu-ray technology and Toshiba has its HD-DVD format. Both have their supporters but critics worry that two formats could confuse or even anger consumers who all remember the old battle of VHS versus Beta. More recently and perhaps even more scary was the format war between high resolution audio formats SACD and DVD-Audio. That format war unlike the VHS versus Beta battle, left no winners � just two dead formats.

Not since the Vandersteen 2 has a loudspeaker come on to the audio scene with such assuredness of success. Not since the Vandy has a speaker so outpaced the competition in terms of quality and value at its price point as has this Gallo loudspeaker." Martin DeWolf - Bound For Sound "... This speaker combines so much unconventional thinking, novel applications and build quality in such a balanced, physically compact but sonically gargantuan and full-range design, and for such an exceedingly fair price that some drastic measure of formal recognition was required to truly separate it out from the crowds that make up the $3,000 - $10,000 floorstanding speaker field."
