Thiel ViewPoint
Here's the solution for all of you flat-screen lovers out there who don't know what to do about the accompanying loudspeakers. Thiel's ViewPoint loudspeaker is designed to integrate with your wall-mounted flat panel. The ViewPoint combines a coaxial and coplanar driver with a 90-degree radiation pattern for a sound that covers the room. The loudspeaker features a 6.5-inch woofer and the same 1-inch tweeter that Thiel uses in their flagship CS7.2. The ViewPoint measures 8 inches wide by 5 deep with a built-to-order height. It sells for $1,990 and weighs 18 pounds.

Ethereal Elite Home Theater Cable
Ethereal distinguishes itself from other cable manufacturers by their construction method. Their compression method eliminates the solder connection at the termination point, which they claim gives you a seamless connection between cable and termination and makes for exceptional signal transfer and accuracy. The new XLR stereo (XLR22) and XLR five-channel (XLR52) audio cables are balanced, wide-bandwidth analog cables. The crimped bell housing is designed to provide strain relief and noise-free performance. Two meters of the XLR22 cost $57.31, while 2 meters of the XLR52 cost $140.06.
