I recently purchased a Sony 55″ LED LCD TV. Let me start by saying that this TV is AWESOME. It has a great picture, but the audio leaves much to be desired. In fact, my wife agreed much faster than I had thought when I suggested we look into a soundbar that we could place on the mantel just under the TV. I knew I wanted a soundbar that was easy to…

The most impressive part of the installation is zero modification to the factory interior of the vehicle. While keeping all of the factory controls in the dashboard and cutting no holes in the panels, the audio has gone from plain and…
Focal Home Speakers Now At Abt
I was listening to a pair of the Focal Chorus 726V floor standing speakers in the store the other day and almost forgot that I was listening to speakers. I had to learn more about them. They sound great due to the technology that Focal has developed since their inception. All their speakers (even the ones for $495/pair) use drivers that are built by them for them, not some other companies’ parts.…

Rather than using Bluetooth technology, this unit uses a locked 802.11 Wifi network to connect your laptop to your receiver or speakers from up to 100 feet away. It can wireless send your…
