Marantz SR7005 Review of The Home Theather AV Receiver Revealed - Marantz SR7005 Reviews are popping up all over the internet due to the increasing popularity of this audio receiver. Marantzsr7005review.org reveals whether this home AV receiver really offers the incredible sound it promises so people can truly kick back and relax.

A Marantz SR7005 Review reveals whether this audio receiver is just another squeamish machine that seems afraid to throw out a fully powerful sound around the room or is it a bold, powerful machine that the manufacturers claim it to be.

The Marantz SR7005 that replaced the SR7002 was released in August 2010. It has an A/V receiver with 7-channel, 3-source, 3-zone audio distribution capability and support for video performance and high-definition audio from multiple digital sources. The SR7005 has features such as content sharing, 6 HDMI v1.4a inputs with 3D, DLNA v1.5, and also supports high-definition multi-channel formats like DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD.

A Marantz SR7005 Review shows that the price includes high-quality surround sound along with the Dolby digital surround effects that transition perfectly during different sounds. The balance is well-designed, so the bass isn’t too loud and the enhanced surround modes don’t become overpowering or a problem. It is compatible with other products like Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, and iPod Digital Direct with a front-panel USB external control and input and comes with External control, advanced codes, Bluetooth connectivity, and it also decodes audio.

Audio Entertainment Consoles - New Luxury Audio Brand AudioXperts

AudioXperts, a New Luxury Audio Brand, Launches its 4TV Audio Entertainment Consoles - 4TV home theater consoles set a new benchmark for performance, simplicity of operation, design and visual integration with today’s newest panel TVs

AudioXperts, the new luxury audio brand, committed to delivering unique audio solutions, introduces the first two models of its 4TV collection, designed to provide users with extraordinary TV/music solutions that truly eliminate the confusion, chaos, and clutter that too often comes with typical component home theater systems.

With their beautiful smoked glass and aluminum enclosures, these ultra-low-profile products provide amazing component-level audio performance, in two unique, easy-to-use models: the Model 5122 5.1 Surround Sound Console (MSRP $3,999.99), a category-defining, 2-piece, true 5.1 channel music and surround sound system with wireless subwoofer, which offers the performance of a high powered 12” subwoofer, and offers several placement options, including standing upright with the included feet, lying flat for versatile, inconspicuous placement, or even placed directly underneath the 5122 main console; the Model 2112 Virtual Surround Sound Console (MSRP $1,999.99), a single-piece, high performance 2.1 channel music and surround sound system with built-in subwoofer that delivers the equivalent bass output of a separate 8” powered subwoofer.

"When it came to developing the 4TV collection, our team of experts set out to produce a product line that would offer a never-before-seen combination of audio performance, technology and aesthetic design," said Eli Harary, president of AudioXperts. “4TVs minimalist, yet ultra-sophisticated form will instantly appeal to those who truly appreciate superior form and function.”

4TV home entertainment consoles are designed to fit directly under the TV, or on top of a furniture cabinet below a wall hung TV set, and feature stunning smoked glass and aluminum enclosures that integrate perfectly with today’s televisions. Unlike sound bars and conventional surround sound systems, which are typically fixed into place, the 4TV console's built-in swivel base improves the user's television viewing experience by allowing them to easily rotate the console and television to the preferred listening and viewing angle.

The units feature backlit top-mounted, touch-sensitive controls and “learn” existing remotes for easy transparent operation. A proximity sensor adds an even greater ease-of-use, automatically detecting when someone is near and instantly lighting up to show the systems status on the control panel.

The home entertainment systems feature patent-pending H.A.R.T. (High Aspect Ratio Transducer) driver technology which utilizes a unique suspension and support system that allows the use of a large voice coil for high power handling in a high aspect ratio design. By incorporating these new drivers the height of the 4TV consoles can be kept to less than 2-1/4".

In addition to providing high quality audio from the listener's TV, cable/satellite box, and gaming consoles, by offering Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, 4TV products are also designed to provide extraordinary music enjoyment by incorporating easy wired or wireless connectivity to all of today's popular music sources with, instant connection for an optional Apple® Airport Express®, or wireless streaming with any Bluetooth® enabled device, and incorporates the new CSR® aptX® codec for crystal clear, full bandwidth performance.

To optimize the listeners experience with any content, 4TV can easily switch between a number of listening modes and EQ settings for both movies and music. In Movie mode listeners can experience all the action with full and realistic surround sound. In Music mode, music can be experienced in true and accurate stereo sound.

For those owners that may experience sensor neural hearing loss, the 4TV’s Enhanced-Dialogue listening mode offers a separate equalization setting that our engineering team developed using data derived from the U.S. Hearing Journal Research.

“Because of its unique industrial design, our 4TV products will naturally catch the attention of anyone with a sense of style, however, what will really capture their attention is the amazing performance of these systems.” said John Fischbach, director of product voicing for AudioXperts.

Super Self-Powered Speaker for Digital Age - NHT SuperPower

NHT SuperPower: Activate! A Super Self-Powered Speaker For The Digital Age - Elements of NHT’s SuperZero M-00 Speakers Combine To Create A Super Self-Powered Speaker For The Digital Age

NHT today announced that it will soon ship SuperPower [$199 each]: a compact, self-amplified, high end mini-speaker powerhouse designed to deliver high performance sound from any of today’s digitally connected devices, from smartphones and portable media players to tablets, video games, electronic musical instruments, home entertainment systems, and of course, desktop and laptop computers.

Instead of starting from scratch, NHT looked for design inspiration from its highly acclaimed SuperZero 2.0 -- an overachieving passive mini-speaker -- and the professional series M-00 (a/k/a, the “moo”), which is a rugged 75W powered mini-monitor commonly found in top-notch recording studios.

Similar to its predecessors, the SuperPower’s acoustics section includes NHT’s time-tested mini-monitor driver complement, featuring a 4.5-inch long-throw woofer and 1-inch silk dome tweeter. The drivers are acoustically suspended in a sealed box that is immediately recognizable for NHT’s trademark high-gloss, black laminate finish.

The rest of the SuperPower’s magic can be found under the hood: each speaker features its own ultra-low distortion 90W power amplifier that boasts over 90% efficiency and in standby mode uses less electricity than a D cell battery. The amplifier is mated with a custom designed pre-amp circuit that shapes the speakers’ response for both bass extension (to 72Hz) additional SPL (over 111dB @1 Meter!)

“SuperPower’s DNA originates from two of NHT’s most beloved speakers – the SuperZero and the NHT Professional M-00 active mini-monitor. That’s really where the story begins,” said NHT partner and marketing/sales executive John Johnsen. “As such, it really represents the best of both worlds, combining our knowledge and experience in the powered monitor arena with our passion for packing incredible high-end sound into a compact, affordable package”
