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…
T-minus 1 week until the big game. The Super Bowl will be upon us on February 6th at 5:30 CST. If you’ve already picked out the perfect HDTV or have been using the same one for years, don’t forget one thing to get the most out of the experience: a sound system. If you don’t already have one, do yourself a favor so you can hear every cheer, shout, yell, crunch and…

Abt’s Mobile Installation team delivered a rolling symphony of sound to the Abt sales floor this past weekend. A 2010 Mercedes C300 has been outfitted with Focal speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers. 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…
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.…
People ask me all the time how can they transfer music from their computer without being complicated. Look no further than the Audioengine W1 wireless adapter. It is as simple as plugging it into your desktop or laptop computer. 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…
There is a new speaker on the block, or should I say, on the wall; it’s lean, sleek, and will pair nicely with new super-skinny TVs.

Definitive’s latest Mythos, the XTR-50 ($699), is a trim 1.5 inches thick, 25 inches tall, and six inches wide. It’s designed to be mounted to a wall acting as a left, right,…
