Welcome! HomeTheater.com Is Now SoundandVision.com

Rob Sabin  |  Sep 18, 2013

Welcome to SoundandVision.com! If you’ve been a regular visitor to HomeTheater.com, you may be surprised to find yourself here, but rest assured you’re in the right place. As a byproduct of the recent merger of Home Theater and Sound & Vision magazines, this new enhanced Website combines the deep archives and expertise of both publications and their former sites HomeTheater.com and SoundandVisionmag.com. Along with a new URL, former readers of both sites will enjoy simplified, faster navigation thanks to direct-access drop-down menus for Reviews and Top Picks that take you straight to the key product categories, not to mention easier browsing of our Buying Tips and Tech Tips by category. Our expanded roster of bloggers can be quickly tapped as well, through either the drop-down navigation or our Latest Blog Entries tab right below the New Stories slider.

We’ve retained some familiar elements of HomeTheater.com, including it’s fast-loading infrastructure, and you’ll find our new design tablet-friendly for on-the-go viewing. Virtually of Sound & Vision’s archived content has been merged with the existing Home Theater library, and sorted as closely and logically as possible. We’ve added several new product categories in our Reviews area and elsewhere to make things even easier to find. And with the joining of these two great Websites, we now boast one of deepest reserves of audio/video test reports anywhere on the Web, including duplicate reviews on many key products by renown experts from each former publication.

If you were registered to post comments on HomeTheater.com, your existing log-in credentials will work here just fine; just tap the “Log In | Join” link to the right of the nav bar and Search field on the upper right to log in and manage your account details. If you're formerly registered on SoundandVisionmag.com or were never registered on either site, we hope you’ll sign up now and join our community of avid A/V enthusiasts and shoppers.

Got the mag two days and will start reading it tonight. My first impression is okay. Did like all the extra reviews, but I need to digest that first issue.

Will check out the web site and leave feedback.

One significant drawback of Sound and Vision online was the long load times when clicking through the site making navigation slow and tedious (especially on tablets and mobile devices). HomeTheater.com had much smoother and faster transitions and was easy to navigate.
Now that HT.com is SV.com, I have already noticed a drop in website performance. I hope that the SV webmasters can learn something from the HT webmasters and get things moving quickly again.

I just received my 2nd issue of Sound & Vision and I do not see the Top Picks pages at the end of the magazine again. I have used that many many times for myself and as a reference which I have printed and given out to dozens of friends who were looking for products. I am hoping it will return by next month and if not why? It is so customer friendly.

I purchased a digital subscription. Zinio is the provider. I got one issue of HomeTheater. Never got S&V. Neither company is finding me in their systems. I have called several times. HELP!!

Just logged in from HomeTheater.com and the transition was seamless. The direct access menus are a smart addition making navigation a breeze. Congrats on the tablet friendly design.
