All my electronics, except my stereo (Bose) and my computer (Home made) are Sony. I just love Sony, they have the highest quality products and the most innovative designs and features (I tend to go for the Japanese models when it comes to things like CD players because they're smaller, sleeker and cooler).

I know some of you think Sony is a bit expensive (not for me though--It's all well worth it).

Reason I came up with this is because my room looks like the Sony showroom in Ginza, San Francisco and New York. My walls are lined with Sony products. Only reason I have the bose it's because it's a little higher quality--and looks better (the Lifestyle systems with the small speakers).

Which brands are orgasmic for you children?

Its always been Sony for me for personal/portable audio, with my Minidisc recorder/player and Discman, but their DVD players are lacking, despite me having a PS2 as my DVD player currently. I like Denon for home audio, and B&W for speakers.

If you speak to any hardcore audiophille, they will tell you that Bose are not worth the money for the quality, they tend to get a bashing for the sub-woofers most of the time because the frequency response is so poor; doesn't drop below 40 Hz. Sony stuff is seen as asthetically nice. However, it doesnt matter what audio equipment looks like, it's all about what it sounds and feels like, and whats under the bonnet. Some of the best and most expensive audio kit out there looks like a child has designed the outside with a crayon.

(Jake only bought a Mac because he lieks the purrty colours ;))

Sony stuff is nice, however I would suggest you start considering the background of the company, and if you really want to support a corportation which is part of a monopoly and too powerfull for it's own good. I'm talking about the music industry of course, and if you have a look around and dig up the real info on Sony you'll see what they are really like behind that fancy stylish exterior.

Money? Heh, Bose is cheap by comparision to many other brands available here in Japan.

As for real info on Sony, it's common knowledge here in Japan. Every day all you here is the same bull**** about them lying to their investors and stealing CD technology from Philips, but the truth is, they do it right ;)

I like the LCD models, but not as much as the CRT.

Sony is nice for their video products imo, except DVDs I've always found their DVD line dissapointing. I've really been very shocked at how poor their audio quality was, in everything, speakers, receivers, cd players, etc. Their monitors have always been some of the best though.

I personally own a Yamaha receiver and Yamaha speakers; except the sub, I have a JBL PB10 subwoofer and love it. Speakers aren't the best but I got good open box deal on them. Until I find a progressive scan DVD changer that catches my eye and isn't overly priced I'll continue to use my Samsung DVD player. I also have a Turtle Beach AudioTron for playing MP3s over my Ethernet network.

Ah, yes, I especially love Sony's Plasma TV's. I got a 40+" in the room next to me. They might be a little more expensive than the next Sony TV of the same size (10 times as much) but they're so worth it

Sony is the only brand at our house, we have Sony TV's, Sony stereo, Sony LCD monitors, Sony VCR's, Sony DVD players, and we even have the Sony CD Digital Camera. Would have got Sony Computers but HP offered more for the money last September when we got our computers.

I'm looking on top of my TV now, and I see a Sony Digital Camera (CD MAVICA 300), a Sony CD Player (Japanese model) and a Sony CLIE NR70V.

I'm loaded. Just around the corner is a DVD player and a TV and I'm about to buy a Sony CD-RW and Sony 3.5" Floppy.

I just got the CD Mavica about 6 weeks ago, and love it.

The only drawback on it is that it is bulky, while I like the typical Japanese (much smaller, sleeker and thinner) models. The reason for it though it the CD, which is convienient.

Come to think of it, Sony is pretty prominent in my house, too. We have a Sony TV (big and flat screen, perfect for fall football games ;)), a Sony DVD player, a Sony stereo, a Sony portable CD player, the list goes on.
