Home Theater

Now that the Holiday season is quickly approaching, it’s time to start finding gifts for all of the loved ones. The Home Theater owner on your list might be pleasantly surprised when he finds the gift from you upgrades his already most prized room. With help from Infiniti, you can make this scenario a reality.

The Infinity TSS-500 Home Theater Loudspeaker System includes four wall-mountable satellite speakers, a wall-mountable center channel speaker, and a 100-watt powered subwoofer with premium-quality drivers and components to produce clear, richly detailed sound. Compact and elegant, the system is sure to delight any home theater owner.

Of course, any home theater owner is used to fighting through a jungle of wires every time he wants to reposition an item or install a new piece of equipment. Enter the Infinity PS210W Wireless Subwoofer. By making use of the 2.4 GHz frequency range, there is no need for cords or wires. This is sure to make life easier – and neater – for your favorite home theater owner.

This company's speakers continue to amaze me. I still can’t believe they produce sound, much less sound fit for the best of audiophiles. To prove it to you, the consumer, the awards they win are from industry experts. The Absolute Sound is the premier magazine for high-end audio enthusiasts. They have awarded MartinLogan with a 2008 Budget Component of the Year Award with the MartinLogan Source Loudspeaker.

MartinLogan is one of the most respected names in audio and they stand out by incorporating high-resolution electrostatic technology and ATF™ (Advanced This Film) transducers into their products. Their speakers range in price from $299 to $30,000 USD. Devin Zell, MartinLogan’s marketing guru recently said, “We are honored to have our efforts recognized by our peers.” Keep up the good work MartinLogan!

Mitsubishi is a consumer electronics industry leader. Their 3D laser technology is a marvel, and when LIVE sporting events are broadcast in 3D we will all certainly own one of these amazing televisions. The Mitsubishi Projector is also something to consider this Holiday Season if you are upgrading. The projector is a great way to have Home Theater at home. This industry leader is lowering their price through a new rebate offer for those ready to make the upgrade. Here are the new rebate offers:

HC1600 has a $100 mail-in rebate plus a free lamp (valued at $495). That is a total giveaway of $595 in effective value! This 720p HD projector is one of the more affordable, if not the most affordable in the market today.

HC5500 LCD projector has a mail-in rebate of $500. It already has a suggested MSRP of only $1,995. This 1080p projector has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, and has an automatic iris function to help make the black-to-light image shift when scenes change from dark to light. What an amazing value for an HD projector.

The HC6500 is NEW and has a mail-in rebate of $200. This makes the total suggested retail price (MSRP) $2,295! This one is available at Best Buy’s Magnolia Home Theater stores, or through authorized Mitsubishi dealers. Read more

You expect newer projectors to have good image quality, resolution, and contrast ratios. What you don’t expect is for that same new projector to be wireless and tell you when it needs to be cleaned or have its bulb changed. Toshiba’s TLP-X200U has all of this, however, and is finding a nice niche for itself in the projector market.

At less than 5 pounds and 3 inches high, this combined with its wireless network capabilities make it the ultimate tool for meetings on the run. Closed captioning, multiscreen functionality, USB ports, and voice activation make this nifty tool very practical. The icing on the cake, however, is the voice technology.

Company insiders report, “The voice guidance system conveniently directs users with an audible message through the projector's operating instructions and system warnings, such as the on/off status, lamp life, air filter checks and cooling fan status."

The technology behind the electrostatic loudspeaker is amazing. When looking at the speaker in person, I still can’t believe these things produce sound, and they really do produce award-winning sound. The research and development coming out of Lawrence, Kansas can bring the best sound to your home theater. This new "Feature" loudspeaker is fully powered with an internal high-resolution 150 watt switching amplifier. What this means … you have flexibility in placing this speaker either on the wall, or off-wall in center, front or surround sound applications.

The MSRP on the new “Feature” Loudspeaker from MartinLogan is $1,695/each. When you make this investment, you will certainly be glad you did. I encourage you to seek this speaker out, and go listen to the depth of sound it produces.
