If I’m honest, I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked through to look RHT’s review of the Vizio P65-C1. While scanning through I ran across this “…the Vizio P65-C1 provided the best non-OLED performance I saw this year”. Naturally, this required a more thorough read and I must that it impresses most of the way throughout. Quite a lot of […]

I hadn’t heard of Raumfeld before, but after reading the review I’m quite intrigued. While there are few issues pointed out by the reviewer, it seems like solid kit and a welcome entrant in to the wireless home audio market. Raumfeld is a recent entrant into the whole home audio arena. They’ve entered into it with a wide array of […]

You don’t see many projector mount reviews, so it was enlightening to see this one of the OmniMount 3N1-PJT and get a better understanding of the process that goes into selecting the right model for your projector. If you have a projector, you probably want it mounted out of the way. Placed up on the ceiling, it’s less likely that […]
Read moreHad the updated Roku Streaming Stick been available a few months ago when I picked up a Roku 2, I’m confident that I would have opt’d for it instead. With a very sleek profile, RF remote (vs. IR), the same capabilities for a lower price ($50), it just makes sense. Roku has released two other Streaming Stick media players. Despite […]

I’ve never contemplated a cylindrical subwoofer, actually only barely knew they existed. After reading the review of the SVS PC-2000, I think I’m going to have to do some research into the benefits of this shape versus a standard cabinet design. SVS has revamped their cylinder series of subwoofers with the new PC-2000: a 34” tall, downward firing room shaker. […]

I usually end up buying AVR from the mid-range, so it’s great to see a solid model from this segment covered over at RHT. Every well known receiver company has an offering around $800. I’ve always found this to be a sweet spot for a receiver–you gain a more refined piece than entry level, but at a point that doesn’t […]

I have a Denon AVR, and I’ve found it to be quite solid so RHT’s conclusion on this HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 $480 Denon AVR-S710W doesn’t surprise me in the least. Trying to pick a future-proof receiver in 2014 was a challenge. You had to pick between full bandwidth HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 copy protection, and DTS:X didn’t even exist […]

UHD Blu-ray is a big step up from Blu-ray, and should be a huge step up from streaming. But history has a way of not picking winners solely on the techincal merits, so I’m not convinced that it has long term legs. Even so, if I had a 4K TV it would be hard not to pony up the $ […]

I think Chris pretty much nails the main reason why you would consider an LCD projector in this (<$1000) price range over DLP – rainbows. I don’t see them, but they are a real, blocking issue for some… We’ve reviewed a number of sub-$1,000 projectors here but they’re all had one thing in common: they are DLP-based. For many people, […]

BenQ does an excellent job of proving you don’t have to break the bank to have a proper “theater room” with a big screen projector. We’ve had one of their higher-end models in for review a while back, but if your budget is a bit smaller (around $1000) it looks like the HT3050 would be the one. Of course, there’s […]
