Soundproof, I totally agree on the home audio role surviving, but I see it more as integrated into the video experience. Like the AST module launching in the BeoSystem 3 right now, it would seem that advances in listening (including the technologies to manage the media as well as process the sound) would be absorbed into the video experience much as

There is no right answer for this and what I have are what I consider reasoned hypotheses. 1. Speakers are safe. I don't think anyone would contest that. 2. Televisions (as we know them today) are mostly safe and even if they aren't in the very long run nobody buying today (at any price-point) really needs to be concerned about what the TV of

I think it's fine. But I don't think it matters as much as what's being controlled. I think that a few things I've seen are "revolutionary" (a word that' probably a bit too strong for the application, but distinct from "evolutionary"). 1. AppleTV's Navigation: While I'm universally underwhelmed by nearly

Sal, I've got to take issue with the fairy tail that somehow the Avant was more accessible in its day than the current offerings, like the BeoVision 7-40.

The BeoSystem 3 is for the serious home theater or consumer of video content. -The VisionClear package is far more expansive on the BeoSystem 3 including the Pixelworks chipset. (picture is significantly improved on same screen type) -Ability to run in Cinema Mode by managing the transition to a projector and turning the soundstage (or managing a second

I think the thrust of the article is not the iPad specifically, but the general accessibility. I see Lutron making huge in-roads in very basic and non-intrusive automation (like Occ. sensors & local remotes for switches) and Honeywell has a great little system that allows the networking of multiple T-stats with an RF remote for them all. These things

Not an app.

[quote user="beolion"] [quote user="TripEnglish"] I should clarify: The BeoMedia 1 didn't need to go through the TV's "Link" input. I used the BeoMedia 1 in multi screen installations by splitting the sound & VGA (usually using a gefen distributor & baluns) and connecting it to the VGA "PC" input

[quote user="burantek"] [quote user="beolion"] [quote user="TripEnglish"] That being said, I still have a BeoMedia that I use fairly frequently and it has one very specific advantage in that it can be distributed to multiple TVs and carry control signals over ML, which (for some godforsaken reason, the BeoMaster 5 can't
