Impact Acoustics SonicWave Speaker Cable Review [0.17] by Gene,October 04, 2006 20:00

Impact Acoustics SonicWave Speaker cables come pre-terminated with a choice of screw-on ends. If you're after a true high performance cable that measures better than most of the costlier esoteric designs, but don't want to break the bank, the SonicWave cable should be on your short list. While it isn't as cheap as a DIY type alternative, folks less inclined to prep and terminate their own cables should find their convenience worth the cost added. Aesthetically they are nice, though not as fancy as some of the exotics named after snakes or tropical resorts but they will finish off your system nicely.

Angel City Audio Trinity L/R & Center Loudspeaker Review [0.17] by ken,February 26, 2013 00:10

The first thing I noticed about the Angel City Audio Trinity L/R & Center loudspeaker system was the first-rate piano black finish. It was smooth and glossy with no imperfections. The Trinity L/R speakers sounded really sweet when I first heard them at the Audioholics GTG event and continued to do so once I got them into my audio room. I found that the cabinets were built extremely well and their measurements showed them also to be well-designed speakers. Although these speakers are not perfect and of course none are, I would definitely recommend them for a smaller room with some room treatment on the side walls. The three (LCR) speakers worked very nicely together which gave for an enjoyable movie and music experience.

Danny Bonaduce's Lame Home Theater [0.17] by clint,December 02, 2010 05:55

Where can you watch reruns of "The Partridge Family" in style? An article at CE Pro says In Danny Bonaduce's Hollywood-area home. But given the lame layout, difficult room configuration and lack of any real advanced technology showing up in any of the photos, we'd have to respectfully disagree and say that Danny should definitely consider spending a bit more money next go-around. The child star from the classic 1970s TV show, now a famous disc jockey, has listed his Spanish-style home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles for $4.2 million. According to the L.A. Times, the 1926 four-bedroom, six-bathroom home is new fully restored. The 8-seat dedicated theater in the home isn’t exactly lavish. In fact, it's a bit of a joke. The small projector sits in "the money seat" at armrest level in the front row of the theater. There are freestanding tower speakers that act as the front left and from right speakers, as well as the rear surrounds. The subwoofer is placed conspicuously in front of the screen.
