Product of the Year" in the What Hifi 2000 awards, it was described as "Brilliance in a sensibly priced box" in September 2000. It's easy to see why, with the DSPE800's combination of superb processing (with no less than 23 DSP surround modes) and a decent output, making it a flexible match for a wide variety of integrated and power amplifiers. On top of that, it has a bundle of extra spare inputs and good quality video switching - perfect for the hifi to home cinema upgrade. Excellent condition.
