    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
