Status Acoustics Decimo ReviewSpeaker companies are a dime a dozen these days in a market flooded with gimmicky products that claim improved fidelity via unverifiable audio tweaks or using exotic cables to achieve their full potential. It is a rarity to find a company that doesn't give into these tactics to market a substandard product. Instead Status Acoustics took the high road by building these no nonsense speakers with some of the finest components available making them to this day a benchmark product unrivaled in performance. |
Emotiva ER 5.0 Speaker System ReviewEmotiva, the maker of affordable amps and processors, has stepped into the speaker world in a big way. With the help of the famous loudspeaker designer Vance Dickason, they have put together a 5.0 package at a price that seems almost too good to be true. These speakers sound great, the dipole surrounds are amazing, and the boundary and tweeter adjustments mean that they'll fit almost any room. The downside? Just look at them… |

What do you do if you want sound in many different rooms of your house or outside but don't have the time or money to spend on wiring up all those speakers, extra amps, and source components? Get yourself a wireless speaker with a great range and sound quality. But where? Soundcast Systems hopes to answer that question for you with their OutCast Wireless System. We found it to have great range (matching or exceeding their claims of 150') and better than expected sound quality. It may be pricy but for that you get convenience, portability, and a solution that will take minutes rather than days to complete.

The Axiom Algonquins proved to be among the best sounding speakers I've heard in this price class. Their ability to give you a full spectrum of sound, solid bass extension, and plenty of efficiency and power handling makes them ideal for those looking for quality bookshelf type speaker systems for their gaming room or covered barbeque area. Axiom’s color matching, prompt and unparalleled customer service and very generous return policy makes them a safe buy for anyone not sure if these speakers are right for them.

Dali debuted a new On Wall loudspeaker system in their demo room at the Venetian hotel. It is based on their Mentor series speakers and are a low profile box speaker system that simply hang from the wall like a picture frame with a mounting hole at the top and bottom of the cabinet. I spent a good deal of time listening to the demo and felt that these speakers have enormous potential for a customer looking for audiophile performance with high WAF.

The new AW5500 and AW6500 all-weather outdoor/commercial speakers use racetrack shaped pressure low-bass radiators to extend bass response without compromising their water tight seal. The AW models use high excursion active drivers pressurecoupled to racetrack-shaped passive radiators to produce more than double the bass output while maintaining a weather-tight seal for ultimate placement flexibility, reliability, and performance.

At the Audioholics Showcase home, we discuss Axiom Audio's new In-wall/On-wall W-series speakers with Alan Lofft, Axiom's Resident Expert. These speakers are Axiom Audio's attempt to compromise the architectural look of an on-wall speaker, while providing some extra box room for greater performance. While it's a bit more involving to install than a typical onwall speaker, there are several advantages to this solution that people more focused on audio performance in a small footprint will certainly appreciate.
