Is it true? My audiophile dealer told me that Loewe no longer exports their televisions to the U.S. Does this mean I can no longer get a Loewe TV? That is very upsetting to me. I've been slowly building my system: I have B&W speakers, Rotel equipment---and am almost ready to replace my old Sony Wega with a Loewe (the perfect compliment to my system). So now that I'm in the U.S., this is no longer possible??? I don't want to be stuck with Sony---which will still be the best choice in lieu of Loewe, IMO....

Problem solved. I'm now lusting after the 34-inch Sony XBR Direct View HDTV. My dealer has one on display, and it looks just about as good as the tube-based Loewe they used to have. Wow.

Many consider the current crop of Sony CRT monitors to be at the pinnacle of CRT technology. And better than plasma, LCD, etc.

Oh, I definitely agree with them. I am not interested in plasma, LCD or DLP. A great tube set like the XBR can not be beat. I'll stick with LCD as a computer monitor only.
