Review - IF500 Luna 5 Encore iPhone iPod Speaker Dock

Speaker docks for iPhone and iPod devices are very common these days, with more manufacturers putting their name in the hat, vying for a place in your living room, bedroom, bathroom, or any other location you may so desire to amplify the music coming from your mobile device. Edifier manufactures numerous speaker products, ranging from studio speakers, to surround sound gaming systems, to of course, speaker docks. With the IF500 Luna 5 Encore, Edifier tries a more modern and artistic approach to the traditional iPhone/iPod speaker dock. And with a $299 MSRP, the Edifier Luna 5 is on the upper tier of docks so we will evaluate the speaker as much on sound quality as on style.

Review - Aperion Audio Zona Wireless Speaker System

The prospect of wiring surround or multi-zone loudspeakers is often fraught with difficulty and may be a job best left to someone who can open up walls, fish speaker wire and install a wallplate with wire terminals. Instead of hiring a costly contractor or spending several hours and dollars in parts, Aperion Audio presents the Zona Wireless Speaker System which promises to lift the burden of wires from us. After our positive experience with Aperion Audio’s Intimus 4T speakers, our interest in Aperion Audio’s wireless solution was piqued.

The $399 Zona Wireless Speaker System are stereo speakers that can be employed in a variety of scenarios: serving as speakers sourced directly from a PC, stereo or surround speakers in a home theater or as part of a separate zoned speaker system where the installation may be in a remote room or patio.

Review - Aperion Audio Intimus 4T Tower Speaker

Aperion AudioCreating the right audio environment is a critical part of enabling an immersive home theater experience, but is often neglected either due to ignorance or the erroneous assumption that good sound is unattainably expensive.  The process of finding the right speakers is made even more difficult with few shops providing an adequate listening environment, let alone one with options in an affordable price range.  Speaker manufacturer Aperion Audio has a solution for these issues, offering their 150 watt, $550/pair Intimus 4T tower alongside a no-risk thirty day trial with shipping covered both ways, so they can be tested in the actual environment where they will see use.

Review - MANHATTAN 2800 Acoustic Series Bluetooth Bookshelf Speaker System

MANHATTAN 2800 BTAs desirable as placing an audio video receiver (AVR) or amplifier and full set of speakers at each point of media consumption would be, it is impractical from a cost and aesthetic perspective.  With the convenience of wired and wireless audio support alongside medium density fiberboard (MDF) construction, the MANHATTAN 2800 Acoustic Series Bluetooth Bookshelf Speaker System promises to deliver value and flexibility in the crowded segment of PC-style amplified stereo speakers.
