According to promo literature, Arcam "can
boast a 30-year history in making world-class integrated amplifiers." New to Arcam's
lineup is the new 50Wpc DiVA A70, which has "a sophisticated menu with text
display" and "ultra-short signal paths." Also new is the FMJ
DV139 DVD player.
Billed as a budget-priced cinema chair with
high-end features, the Bell'O HTS-100 is the company's first piece of cinema seating.
It comes as a single chair ($1000) or a grouping of three ($2800). While it is touted for
home-theater use, we suspect it would work just as well for listening to music.
Harman/Kardon has a knack for making gorgeous
products. Above is the sleek, tasteful HS 500 "deceiver" -- a combination
receiver and DVD player. Expected price will be "around $1500." Harman/Kardon
has you covered for speakers...
...with the HKTS 21 5.1-channel speaker
system, whose price has not yet been set. The center-channel speaker to the right sits
atop the matching
subwoofer.
The SIM2 Grand Cinema HT3000 ($15,990) is a
brand-new 1080p-capable single-chip DLP projector with tons of connectivity. Texas
Instruments was giving away a SIM2 single-chip projector -- maybe this one.
No, we haven't sunk to photographing home
furnishings. These Limelight lamps had a surprise inside.
Acoustiblok is a heavy, flexible material that
blocks
sound to an amazing degree. It comes in 30' ($389) and 60' ($675) rolls and looks to
be easy to install beneath drywall.
