SpeakerCraft gave us a naked look at the company's TIME speakers that descend from the ceiling anytime you're ready to hear music or watch a movie. Although they all use a one-inch tweeter and an eight-inch woofer, the individual drivers in each of the three models are made from different materials. When used with SpeakerCraft's TIME Controller and Remote, up to eight TIME in-ceiling speakers can be programmed to descend from 15 to 45 degrees and rotate to any position within 320 degrees. Memory settings can be programmed for different listening requirements, such as two-channel, multi-channel, and party mode. Pricing for the speakers starts at $350 each. The TIME Controller and Remote is $400.

It all began with my obsession with snakes. Not the slithering, on-a-plane type; I mean the kind that pull wires through walls. What is it about hidden cables that so impresses people? As A/V buffs, we conquer the imposing web behind our racks with hardly a bored yawn from our wives or girlfriends.

How to Get Five Pounds of You-Know-What Into a Two Pound Bag

KEF has a solution for people who don't want a lot of speakers in their room, their new FiveTwo Series. The two models in the series, the floor standing model 11 and stand mounted model 7, split the center channel signal between a driver in each of the speakers (that 3rd one from the top in the picture.)

A special connector is provided with the appropriate leads for your receiver or amp so a consumer doesn't have to worry about dragging three speaker cables to each speaker to make this all work.
