    Arrow 2008 Loudspeaker Roundup

    Some manufacturers keep a steady stream of products going to consumers. Others believe they have created the perfect loudspeaker and further innovation is impossible. We cover the former at this year's CEDIA Expo and uncover some enticing and exciting new models as well as some duds that may not see the light of day (not for long, anyways). Some of the exciting models included speakers from Yamaha, Monitor Audio, Boston Acoustics, Sunfire and Earthquake Sound.

    Umm... you made a mistake with the JL audio speakers, you said the bass drivers are from SEAs but they are clearly ScanSpeak Revelators.

    JL powered speakers @ 10 large? Wow that would be around $80K for a 7.1 set-up, including capable sub. I imagine they will be flying off the shelves?

    Proof that there are companies who rest their laurels on people with more money than brains!

    Yes they are a bit spendy aren't they? People that can drop that sort of cash on audio equipment don't even break a sweat doing it. I am sure they will do well in that segment despite how niche it is.
