AVRev.com's CEDIA 2005 Wrap-Up - Vol. 1: Smaller AV Gear Coming to a Home Theater Near You As AVR Editor Bryan Southard and I strolled across the floor of the recent CEDIA tradeshow in Indianapolis, Indiana we were struck by a receiver from Denon that we have in for review but we had never seen before in person. What was so striking about this Denon black box was its huge size specifically its height. It must have been pushing a foot tall and amazingly had connections for everything. The back of the receiver was nothing short of mind blowing. As Bryan and I poured over where we might connect our Xbox or D-VHS players it dawned on me that the trend of bigger gear is likely to end sooner than later.
