JMlab's limited-edition Electra Be speakers look very similar to their Utopia counterparts and use Focal's beryllium tweeter, too. On the left is the Electra 907 Be ($3295/pair), and on the right is the 927 ($5995/pair). There is also a floorstanding 937 ($8995/pair). All three models are in limited production -- 1000 pairs of 907s, 500 pairs of 927s, and 300 pairs of 937s.

Integra's DTR-10.5 is billed as the world's first A/V receiver to use circuit cards similar to those in a PC for additional features. It costs $4500 "fully loaded." The cards cost $150-$500 depending on the circuit/functionality they add.

Integra also debuted its DPS-10.5 universal A/V player ($2500), which scales video internally to high-definition quality. The player has video inputs, so it can also scale external sources.
