This week I had the privilege of attending the Denon Line Show & Press Event in Dana Point, California. A top floor room that looked out over the Pacific Ocean from the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa was my home for a couple of nights while attending, and it proved to be a great trip full of demos and information. An idyllic setting by any measure, and it provided me a great evening of relaxation prior to my day of work - yeah, we call this work.
How often does a company claim to "reinvent" itself? And how many times is it actually true? Boston Acoustics is making a lot of changes - dropping most of their speaker lines, dropping many of their accessory products, and even dropping the "Acoustics" from their name. Reinvention? Absolutely. The new face of Boston was unveiling to us and reported directly to you.
Bang & Olufsen has been around for many, many years - probably a lot more than many American's would realize. Founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, the two had an idea that radios should run on the "mains" (line voltage ran to the home) rather than on batteries.
Axiom Audio is a company that needs little introduction since they are so well branded among the well- informed home theater crowd passionate about purchasing products that live up to their reputation - with none of the BS often found in high end audio.
Nearly two years ago we were introduced to a revolutionary room equalization system called Audyssey which was soon to be debuted in the up and coming AVR-5805 receiver flagship from Denon. Prior to reviewing this new super receiver, we sent one of our freelance writers, Patrick Hart , to Audyssey Labs for a first hand demo of their new system.
Over the last 20 years, APC has been a pioneer in the development of new power protection technologies, resulting in countless industry awards, design patents and an installed base numbering in the tens of millions of units. Multiple R&D centers, along with APC-owned and controlled factories, have helped ensure that APC solutions are the safest, most advanced, and reliable available. When you buy APC, you buy "peace of mind".
This year the Denon and Boston Acoustics Summer Line Show was held in Cleveland, OH, at the Ritz Carlton. The press event began at noon in the Century Restaurant, where we ate with Denon and Boston Acoustics executives.
We spent about 2.5 hours in an unexpectedly grueling session with renowned recording engineers Chuck Ainlay, Ed Cherney, Frank Filipetti, George Massenburg, Elliot Scheiner, and Al Schmitt (as well as host Gary Reber from Widescreen Review magazine.)
We're here at the 4th annual Home Theater Cruise (our first) and have to say, the weather has done its best…
Though RBH Sound isn't yet a household name that people relate to as they do Sony TVs or Ken more Refrigerators, they are one of the oldest speaker companies in the USA still run and operated by the original founder - Roger Hassing. In 1976 RBH Sound produced its first loudspeaker. RBH soon began to OE M for McIntosh, (back in the days of Gordon Gow), providing cabinets for their speakers. This set the stage for doing a superb job since McIntosh didn't worry about how to cheapen the product, but to make it better and, at least at the time, class leading in performance.
