RBH Status Speakers & Velodyne Stand Alone Basd eq

and JBL supposedly has bass equalizer coming out as well.

I'm interested in:

1. A comparison of HDMI receivers and whether they will be able to handle the new higher resolution audio formats of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

2. Any news from Sony on when a non-Qualia 70" SXRD RPT will be available, its cost, whether it will accept a 1080p input, how it will scale 1080i to 1080p, whether it will use the new SXRD chip that will be in the upcoming 50" and 60" versions, and whether it will have a variable iris. Same questions about the forthcoming LG (Spatialight), Brillian, and Hitachi 1080p LCOS RPTs, plus their contrast specifications.

3. Stands that can hold 70" LCOS RPTs.

4. Any news from Sony on an affordable version of the Qualia front projector.

A review on the Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXI Receiver please.

1080p Input

Please cover which HDTVs will accept 1080p input, which will display 1080p, and whether 1080p really creates a better visual experience for the average viewer, when compared with 1080i and 720p. And to make it more interesting, where one might actually find 1080p sources. Thanks!

See if you can find Leon Speakers (website). They make some cool speakers designed to go with Plasma TVs. I believe some manu's actually use their speakers in their booths (like Marantz).

Update from the airport...

We'll get some more detailed info and pics at the show I'm sure (like pricing), but for now I put up some preliminary info on the CEDIA 2005 Coverage page.

BTW I am typing this from the airport - You can find Internet connections in the strangest places...

We've got Mr. Nomas with us this year, so look out for some product coverage with his particular... um, personality.

Energy subwoofers

A while go, when you had a press release about the Energy Reference Connoisseur line, It said there was another line of subwoofers coming out that use a flat driver rather than a cone to save box volume. I havent seen anything about this product anywhere, except for in that release.

So..

I was wondering if you could maybe see if they are at the show, or when they will be on the market.

thanks lot,
Your friendly neighborhood sheep

 

[Audioholics]

We saw the new Energy subs today. 3 versions 8", 10", 12". We'll post the info later, but the middle sub boasts flat response down to 23-24Hz and the interior volume is increased by 30% due to the use of the flat driver.

Also, the connections and amp are on the bottom so the lines of the sub are very clean all around. The controls are mounted on one side near the top.

Nice overall.

 

[Sheep]

thanks clint,

The current energy subwoofers (the .3 line) also boast quite impressive frequency responses. The s10.3 is rated to 21hz, while the s12.3 is rated to 19hz. The s8.3 is rated to 27hz. I was comparing the s10.3 to the velodyne DLSR 5000R and it was going just as low as the big 15inch on the matrix, and it sounded cleaner.

Im looking forward to when you post the information.

thanks lot,
sheep

Samsung AV-R3000 HDMI THX2 Receiver

Could someone stop by the Samsung booth and ask them when this 'flagship' receiver is coming out? They showed it at CES and said it'd be out in February. Then it was May, then August. Still nothing on Samsung's website, and I haven't seen the FCC approval yet.

Could someone get the real scoop?

Thanks!

Black Screen Technology

Hello Gene. I hope that you will review the new black screen technology SCREEN INNOVATIONS " MIRAGE SCREEN" specifically. I am interested in just how great this technology really is in bringing front projection out of completely dark rooms.
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks for the info!

 

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

While you're at the Samsung booth look for some good info on the universal HD-DVD/BR-DVD/Upscaling(1080p)DVD/SACD/DVD-A player. I hear its going to be the 1st quarter electronic purchase.

Also some PS3 pics if you can

Any new products with Infocus, Optoma, or BenQ

Just wondering if anyone's seen new budget-projectors from Infocus, Optoma, or BenQ?
