Definitive Technology BP-8040ST SuperTower Speakers

2012-01-17T01:26:00.000-08:00

MSRP: $799 per speaker. Bipolor design, but thin profile. Good review. Not bad for a $1,600 pair of full-size speakers with a powered subwoofer included. Check out the review.

Here's a THX-certified (we don't hear about THX anymore) subwoofer that goes down to 15hz. Its $749. Not bad.

Sony Personal 3D viewing glasses

I've never tried viewing glasses. I always thought they were an interesting idea. Now they have 3D versions.

Pro-Ject RM-1.3

2011-11-20T13:39:00.001-08:00

I personally like audio equipment that just looks good. And I would buy the RED. And it looks like it sounds pretty good with the stock arm and cartridge... Now I need to check if my amp has a phono input ....

Yamaha RS700- 2 channel!

2011-11-01T01:15:00.000-07:00

How about an old fashion 2 channel integrated amp? I don't know why they say its old fashioned. There's still a ton of good integrated, NAD as an example. Maybe its because its Yamaha, who I was first interested in the HT lineup. I don't think I'd buy a 2ch from Yamaha because I never found their stereo to be all that great -- HT is a different story. But its worth a read if you're in the market!

Martin Logan Theos models

2011-11-01T01:11:00.000-07:00

Truth be told, I've been indifferent with Martin Logan speakers. But I do like magnapan speakers which I know is a total different technology by bi-directional. Some people love them .... but I just haven't had the opportunity own a pair. Check out the review:

Klipsch G-17 Airplay speaker

2011-10-18T01:12:00.000-07:00

Klipsch is launching an airplay compatible speaker. Its got two set of tweeter (10Watts) and "woofer" drivers (20Watts) - surprisingly it gets down to 57Hz?!?! Unfortunately it is $550 MSRP.

When is someone going to release a reasonable airplay speaker set??? Eitherway check out the review:

Optoma HD20 $999 1080p basic projector

2011-07-31T17:37:00.000-07:00

This is as basic and cheap as they come ... They have finally broken the $1000 price point for a basic good 1080p. I have an old NEC LT-150 that I bought almost 10 years ago for right around $1000 and it'll do 1024x768, 4:3 aspect ratio. Now you can get 1080p for $999 - wow. I'm so tempted. It's a single DLP so it still has the rainbow effect and it doesn't have tilt and shift options to allow for a wider setup. But for this cheap -- I can deal with those to short comings ...
