At 26" tall (they also have 18", 22", 30", and 34" options) the SF26 can handle medium to large bookshelf speakers up to 35lbs, which means they will work for all but the largest bookshelf speakers on the market. As the name suggests, the stands are made entirely of black textured steel, with the exception of plastic feet. They do have to be assembled, but assembly is quick and painless requiring only a single phillips screwdriver. Once put together, the SF26 are extremely stable and blend into the decor. For $169, SF26 are a great option for anyone looking for a a set of affordable universal speaker stands.Mon, 18 Feb 2013 03:10:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-sf26AV Racks & Stands ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-ces-2013Sanus often shows of new TV wall mounts at trade shows, but this year they focused on new iPad mounts, iPad mini mounts, and furniture. They revealed 4 different iPad mounts, the VTM1, VTM5, VTM6, and VTM7, and two iPad mini mounts, the VTM11 and VTM16. Each mount comes with a slim polycarbonate case (available in black or clear) that has a magnet secured on the back. The magnet is used to attach and detach the iPad from the mount, no messing with clips or other securing mechanisms. Sanus also showcased their Alabaster furniture collection with the release of the ACV53 ($999.99), ACV73 ($1399.99), and announcement of the ACA42 ($TBA). And finally they debuted the BFV353 ($299.99) and BFV357 ($329.99) A/V stands in their Basic Series.

The SMC-1000 is a media cabinet that has compartments to hide your equipment out of sight and a built-in 2.1 stereo system to provide "audiophile" sound. It has an impressive array of connections like HDMI, 3.5mm, and USB, as well as AirPlay and Bluetooth connectivity. NYNE's goal with their new Smart Media Center line, of which the SMC-1000 is the first product to be announced, was to design a modern piece of furniture that would allow consumers to do away with stacks of equipment and jumbles of wire.

You now those times when you're sitting down and drifting off to sleep but you really need to get more done… That's when a desk that lifts for standing is an excellent idea. It can make you productive and energetic and help you keep working. It's available in Birch or Cherry and will be available later this year for $700.

No. And don't think you can place one under your sub and not have to worry about your neighbors. But it will stop the transmission of vibrations through the connection of the sub to the floor. While pricing hasn't been announced, we expect it to be in the same $60 range as the original Auralex SubDudes. Many home theater enthusiasts swear by their SubDudes. With the Auralex SubDude-HTs larger platform (17x22 inches) and lower profile (1.75 inches tall), there is little reason not to invest in one. For the potential gains, the cost is slight.

That's been made possible by Omnimount. Well, we decided to stop by their booth at the 2012 CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis and see what they were up to. It turns out they have a lot of great products this year - ways to mount your TV, ways to mount your iPad… but one of the more impressive products we saw was the new Lift40 Mount. It handles TVs between 30" and 55" - basically anything up to 40 pounds in weight. It's got a really low profile and fits flat against the wall. In fact, this is the very mount that Omnimount showed us last year in their upstairs demo area, but swore us to secrecy since it was still in development.Mon, 17 Sep 2012 00:10:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/omnimount-lift40-tv-videoSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/premier-am500-mega-mountWe're always on some crusade to get our friends to wall-mount their flat-panel televisions. But we often wondered about the newer 80" screens... how on earth do you mount those? The answer: carefully. But aside from that, you need a mount that can handle the weight. And then, if you want maneuverability of the display, you need something that doesn't really exist - or at least it didn't exist until this week. Premier Mounts debuted an addition to its family of articulating flat-panel mounts specifically geared towards displays over 65" in size: the AM500 Mega Mount - a mount capable of supporting displays up to 500 pounds (226.8 kg). If Superman were a display mount, he'd be this one.Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:05:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/premier-am500-mega-mountSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-levitate-l-pb-monitor-stand-videoThe new Atdec Levitate L-PB and L-PW mount is a departure from what we're used to. It's attractive, yet functional. It's flexible, but sturdy - it's made of aluminum and stainless steel and can hold a display weighing nearly 20 pounds. That's a 27" display or more. Most mounts top out at 10 pounds, or a 24" display. On top of that, the Levitate lets you move the monitor around with ease, tilt it throughout a 110 degree range, and even rotate it to portrait view when needed. Also, instead of half-baked cable management schemes, this one actually works. You can route your display cable through the outer part of the arm, securing it with the provided clips. Once everything is in place, you cover the arm with the black or white color-accented covers and your Levitate is still free to bend and move in any direction while cleaning up your workspace.Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:30:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-levitate-l-pb-monitor-stand-videoSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/omnimount-procfcart-videoOne of the things we haven't really talked about is the OmniMount Pro CF Cart.

The Pro CF Cart features 20" of vertical adjustment that literally takes just a touch. There are no knobs or levers - everything just... works. You can also rotate your display between portrait or landscape at-will by releasing the rear lock and twisting the mount 90 degrees. The cart is super-easy to roll thanks to oversized wheels that lock and we found it to do well over channel drops and cable covers and other small obstacles.Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:10:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/omnimount-procfcart-videoSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-bfv157-preAt $330, the Sanus BFV157 isn't the a cheap piece of AV furniture but it does have a lot going for it. With an open design allowing for maximum flexibility in gear placement and size, the ability to hold up to a 60" display, and integrated storage, the BFV150 should appeal to the AV crowd. At the same time, the mid-century, minimalistic aesthetic is sure to win over many spouses. This is a win-win for the furniture company.

Add motorization to that and it might just be the most perfect feature we've ever come across. When seated in the reclined or inclined position while watching movies, one of the key elements to comfort is the ability to adjust the position of your headrest. In my Berkline chairs, one of the problems I have is that my neck is not properly supported. Watch a 2 hour movie and you will often come away with a neck ache (and yes, we're desperately trying to keep this all in its proper perspective, still). An articulating headrest will allow for proper neck support while viewing an image on the screen no matter what recline position the back rest is in. As we've found, the lack of such feature can result in back and neck pains and a greatly diminished movie-watching experience.Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:42:07 -0000/reviews/furniture/accessories/cineak-motorized-headrestHome Theater Seating ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-th-3060-lpt-tilt-mountAtdec is really coming into its own as a premier mounting solutions company.

In particular, we've been impressed by their flat panel TV mounts that take into account the new thinner televisions as well as the attention they pay in other products to cable management and positioning requirements.

It has to be universal. It has to be rugged. It has to cost less than the projector... These are important criteria and together they set the bar high for anybody manufacturing a one-size-fits-all projector mounting solution. But in addition to universality, a projector mount has to be easy to install, easy to adjust, and preferably, capable of supporting that super-size heavy projector you may or may not one day be able to afford. Premier Mounts' newest SpiroLock Low Profile Projector Mount addresses all three of my "gotta-have" criteria pretty well. In fact, they bulls-eye two of them and get pretty close on the third. At $178 it may not seem sane in the pricing arena, but it's a robust mount, and you can find it a lot cheaper than MSRP from dealers and authorized retailers.Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:40:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/premier-spirolock-universal-projectorSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/omnimount-actionmount-play40OmniMount's John Deutch demoed the new full-motion ActionMount Play40 mount and was able to literally manhandle a 60-inch TV into a variety of positions with near-effortless ease. This is a great way to introduce a new product, and OmniMountfloored us with their interactive TV wall mount based on Ergotron's Constant Force Technology.

The TH-2050-VFM is a great-looking mount that comes in a combination silver and black color scheme. The articulated arm has three pivot points - one at the wall, one in the middle of the arm, and the last just behind the mounting plate. This is an attractive and highly usable mount. For obvious reasons it would also work well in a corner or a commercial environment as well. It's elegant, beautiful and well-built. In this particular case we were dealing with a TV that was set on top of a fireplace mantel. It was an older flat panel TV, so it had that going for it. It also supported a VESA mounting pattern, so the TH-2050-VFM seemed to be the perfect solution to our desire for a better use of space.Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:04:53 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-th-2050-vfm-display-mountSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-visidec-vf-at-nbc-mountAtdec has invented a way to create yet more desk space with its new VF-AT-NBC Notebook/Monitor Arm Combo mount that is as elegant as it is practical.

For one, those "super-thin" mounts are great, but most people don't realize that you need recessed power and low voltage connection plates in order to utilize them. Then there are those who need a mount that tilts, so that the TV is at the proper trajectory in situations where the set may be elevated - perhaps above a fireplace or simply to clear a piece of AV furniture. Another common problem is that, with most flat panel TV mounts, you have to get the mount absolutely level or your television will look crooked... permanently. Sanus addresses several of these issues with the LT25 Tilting Flat Panel Wall Mount.Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:20:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/sanus-lt25-tilting-flat-panel-wall-mountAV FurnitureAV Reviewshttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/premier-short-throw-projectorPremier Mounts is now shipping their new universal short throw projector wall mounts.

Of course, the street price is easily half that (which would up the value rating beyond what we awarded). In a business or office setting, the TH-3270-UFM is a great choice. In a home setting, it is more of a tough sell depending on the placement and intended use.

From an ease of use standpoint, there is very little that can beat it. If you can hang a heavy picture, you can use the TH-400-LED. But there are some considerations as well. You need to think about the orientation of the connections, about how the location of the mount will affect viewing angles and reflections since it can't be tilted, and how likely the display is to move on that wire. That being said, the TH-400-LED only costs $89. For a mount that will allow you to place your new flat panel only 5/8" off the wall, that is very reasonable.Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:05:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-th-400-led-slim-flatpanel-mountSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/auton-under-bed-tv-liftThe Auton Dream Machine is a high-end under-bed TV lift that is designed primarily as a modern space-saving device.

These displays may live on a wall near a pool table or perhaps in a kids room. Often you are forced to place these displays so that the maximum number of areas have some sort of unobstructed view. With lower end LCD viewing angles, this can be a tricky proposition at best.Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:35:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/atdec-quick-shift-donut-display-mount-first-lookSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/accessories/human-touch-pc-095-perfect-chairSince perfection can be pretty hard to attain, we figured we definitely had to take a closer look at the Perfect Chair, as it is called, from Human Touch. The PC-095 Perfect Chair is either a perfect crossover or a decent compromise between comfort and home theater seating, depending on your point of view.Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:50:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/accessories/human-touch-pc-095-perfect-chairHome Theater Seating ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-dfv49-av-stand-reviewThe Sanus DVF49 AV Stand is definitely a very nice piece of AV furniture. While it doesn’t allow the unlimited access or center channel provision some of the hardcore enthusiasts would like, for many people it has everything they need. The smoked glass of the DVF49 gives your gear the look of floating in your room. The top shelf is rated at 150 lbs which is more than enough for most flat panel displays and the 70 lb rating of the two interior shelves should hold all but the most outrageous amplifier.Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:35:47 -0000/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-dfv49-av-stand-reviewAV Racks & Stands ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/auton-1001-lcd-motorized-projector-liftYou've already purchased your front projection system and all your components, and now you're left with a daunting task. How do you mount the projector, without hearing an earful from your significant other; or in this case, in a conference room with a commercial drop-ceiling? Many mounts and stands can be not-so-appealing to the female eye, such as a pole dropping from the ceiling, a stand behind the couch, or a box sitting on the conference room table. You ask yourself: does visual perfection really have to come at such a price?Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:28:30 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/auton-1001-lcd-motorized-projector-liftSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/accessories/human-touch-ht-1650-acutouch-massage-chair-reviewHome theater chairs are the finishing polish on a room that really makes an impact. While a good audio and video system is imperative to a quality experience, having a good set of leather chairs will really make a big splash on your guests. They really differentiate the dedicated rooms from those who simply shove a bunch of gear into a room. But what about replacing the typical high-end home theater chair with a massage chair from Human Touch? The possibilities are endless. For roughly the same price as a high-end custom chair you can have a robotic masseuse at your fingertips… now that's something to consider.Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:05:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/accessories/human-touch-ht-1650-acutouch-massage-chair-reviewHome Theater Seating ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/e5822-tv-cabFor those wishing to integrate a home theater system into their family or living room and are mindful of blending it into their room décor, the Majestic Angle e5822 from StandOut Designs may be the product for you. Its construction and quality of materials are light years beyond much of the run of the mill junk you find at department stores. The Angle comes fully assembled and was actually designed to accommodate real A/V gear. This is a true dedicated A/V furniture rack and the fact that it’s not only affordable but made in the USA, means it gets my highest recommendation!

With today's available inventory of flat panel TV wall mounts, it's insane to not want to place these beautiful masterpieces of technology up on the wall where they belong. And if you have an even newer flat panel display that is less than two inches in thickness, why not try to get that TV right up against the wall and as flat as it can be? With the Peerless IM760 series you can. It allows installation of a full swing arm mount within the stud cavity of your wall, enabling you to recess that cables, swing arm and mount so that it is quite literally flush against your wall. Seeing is believing.Thu, 14 May 2009 11:05:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/speaker-and-display-mounts/peerless-im760pu-in-wall-mountSpeaker Stands and Display Mounts ReviewsAV Furniturehttp://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-cfa56The Sanus System CFA56 is quite a substantial piece of furniture. You definitely will feel like you got your $850 out of it. It is heavy, has built in "convection-style" cooling, easy access to your gear from the removable back panel, and bottom exit of wires. It is easily put together by a single person though it is not the easiest piece of furniture you'll ever assemble. The aesthetics are very good with a fairly high quality vinyl wrap over some quality pieces of MDF.Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:30:00 -0000/reviews/furniture/racks-stands/sanus-cfa56AV Racks & Stands ReviewsAV Furniture
