Someone posted a 2.1 setup asking what to change next. B&W CM7 fronts, an Audio Pro sub, a 65 inch Samsung from 2019, an Xbox One X and a PS3 feeding it. The receiver is a Yamaha RX-V420. The speakers are not the problem. CM7s are a proper pair of towers and they will still be in that room in...

Armour Home, the parent of Q Acoustics, QED and Goldring, has a new boss, and the interview eCoustics ran with him is more honest than these things usually are. Asked whether the three brands currently get enough dealer support and visibility in the United States, his answer was that they do...

Good writeup doing the rounds and it is the constraints that make it worth reading, not the gear list. TCL 85QM851G, Denon X1700H, KEF Q350 across the front with the rear ports plugged, Polk XT15 for surrounds, two RSL Speedwoofer 10e subs, and a miniDSP 2x4 HD in the chain. The rental part is...

Magnat's Monitor Reference 5A is a pair of powered stereo floorstanders with HDMI ARC on board, pitched at GBP 759, and the review frames it as the question I keep coming back to: why is a soundbar the default answer for TV audio when a pair of active speakers costs about the same and actually...

Monitor Audio has three new premium subwoofers in the Anthra range and Home Cinema Choice went straight for the flagship 15in model, the W15. The detail that made me look twice wasn't sonic. It arrived in one of the smallest boxes the reviewer had seen for a 15in sub, with a courier visibly...

Home Cinema Choice got time with Perlisten's CTO Erik Wiederholtz ahead of auditioning the new R18s subwoofer, and the quote they led with was that the company doesn't want to make me-too products. Every brand says a version of that. Perlisten at least has receipts: they were the first company...
