Onkyo TX-SR805 AV Receiver Review
The Onkyo TX-SR805 represents the current pinnacle of value at its price point. It sounds good, decodes all the latest HD audio codecs, sports a large power supply, has an impressive feature set, THX Ultra2 certification, and Audyssey MultEQ at a price well below what the competition offers. This high level of value is not just limited to this particular model; Onkyo has spread value and features across their entire product line. Onkyo has resurged into the market as a serious player once again and clearly upped the ante with the TX-SR805. Highly recommended.

EMP ECA-4 & ECA-44 Compact Satellite Speaker System Review
This is a must have solution for any application requiring a compact clutter free and inconspicuously mounted installation. For a limited time, EMP is extending more than 50% off their MSRP plus FREE shipping which makes this system even more attractive and a very uncommon value. So basically $729 gets you 5 high performance compact satellite speakers and their new high power compact e10S subwoofer. This is a “cubed speaker system” killer for well under $1k.

invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG is billed as "extreme scratch proof transparent film - the ultimate gadget protection." Rarely do I buy such marketing-speak, but in this case, I would have to say that the product actually lives up to the hype. And then there's the fact that the product comes from military technology, and as you well know, any red-blooded American gadget guy is gonna be interested in a product that began life in the military. With invisibleSHIELD, the protective film was originally designed to protect the leading edge of helicopter blades.
The Evolve wireless sound system from Griffin Technology brings yet another iPod speaker system to a crowded market category.

Toshiba had a few "Future Concept" portable HD DVD players on display in their booth at CES. You might as well call them "alternative future" concepts.
