Who's Driving The
Bus?
Well, maybe everybody is. In the past, particularly in
display technology, product development was driven largely by
innovations made for professional or commercial use. Conventional wisdom
at that time was high-quality products were needed to help set
high-quality production standards in the broadcast industry. In recent
years, though, the industry has shifted, and product innovation is
driven largely by the consumer market segment. And the reasons?
Consumers today tend to be more technically savvy, as well as expecting
a higher level of production value in entertainment. And most
importantly, they represent a significantly larger purchasing segment
than the professional or commercial markets do. more>>

Home Theater Level II: $60,000 - $80,000
Howell &
Associates
When we first met with the client, they wanted us to design something
very simple. When we walked through the house we couldn't help but
notice the beautiful wood detail throughout. We decided to present two
designs to them—one that was simple, as they had requested, and one
that was classy and elegant, with lots of wood detail. When the client
saw the second design they knew right away that it was a perfect fit for
their home. more>>

PSB VisionSound Series Speakers
Complement Home Theater Setups
PSB Speakers' VS400 floor-standing loudspeaker
($999) is tall and elegant, a visually appealing complement to the most
sophisticated televisions and contemporary furniture. It uses four
4.5in. woofers that provide impressive bass extension with a 1in.
Neodymium magnet tweeter.
The highly versatile VS300 ($749) can be placed on the wall, used as
a center channel speaker, or even serve as a mini tower with the
optional desktop base. The VS300 is designed for on-wall mounting next
to 42in.-and-larger flat-panel displays, incorporating a unique
crossover circuit that flattens the frequency response for on-wall
mounting. Since wall mounting a speaker causes a rear wall
bounce—and a subsequent sonic delay of the reflected sound—a
broad acoustic depression centered around the 400Hz to 500Hz range is
created. more>>
