Legendary Japanese electronic designer Niro Nakamichi (of Nakamichi Dragon cassette-tape deck fame) has hit the nail on the head with his latest creation for the burgeoning "lifestyle" segment of home A/V systems, the Niro 1.1 PRO, essentially a "Home-theater-in-a-box" solution to the pesky problem of what to do when you are rich in ambition but short on space and cash. This baby does everything except play LP records, and even that can be accomplished by using a phono section connected via one of the unit's two auxiliary line inputs.
