Hi.
I'm shopping around for a reasonably good stereo for
my living room (not very large) and would like it to
cost under $1000 (including cassette deck).
Consumer Reports has these recommendations for a
$1000 stereo.  Can anyone comment on their choices?
Are they good, bad?  Are there better buys in this
price range?  Did they choose the right component
price ranges for a $1000 system?

Receivers:                Turntables:
Akai AAR22, list $250     JVC LL1, list $190
Sanyo DCR350, list $250   Sony PSLX55, list $180
Fisher RS225, list $279   Hitachi HT2, list $130
                          Technics SLB200, list $110
Speakers:
Avid 60AB, list $240      Cartridges:
EPI T/E 100, list $250    Audio-Technica 112EP, list $35
Infinity RS9, list $218   Shure M96LT, list $80

Cassette Decks:
Aiwa ADF330, list $225
Akai CSF14, list $200
Onkyo TA2022, list $200

Thanks in advance.  If you respond directly to me, I
will post a summary to the net in a couple of weeks.
