    Reason #47 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Perry and Gary are the biggest reasons that I read WIDESCREEN REVIEW! Perry’s expertise goes way back to the movie sound page days. He has always given honest and straightforward information on home theatre. Gary goes way back to the days of stereo and quad and his knowledge and way of writing are as top notch as you will ever find!
