For around 700 dollars it has a few nice features such as XM integration and HDMI switching but everything else just seems stale to me. Perhaps a receiver expert can fill me in why you would purchase this receiver over some of the other ones in the price […]

Read moreIf the CFO approves, my next set of speakers will be a set of floor standing speakers, so I read these reviews with a little more interest. The PSB VS300 loudspeakers are made to be mounted to a wall, which I am sure my wife would appreciate, or with a stand. MSRP for the VS300 is $749 and the matching […]
Read moreThis next article is somewhat relevant, only because we are starting to dabble our feet into the home theater review pond.

For $12,000, this thing better blow you away. Luckily….it does! The Sharp XV-Z21000 has one of the best pictures I've seen in a consumer projector.
