BDI Totem 9930 AV Pedestal
Sometimes a basic AV rack is all you need—especially in rooms where space is limited and entertainment furniture is not the focal point. The neat thing about the Totem AV Pedestal is that it goes well beyond the basics with its integral soundbar bracket and swiveling TV mount that accommodates screens between 50 and 70 inches. You can even adjust the height of the TV during setup.
Nice ’n Neat: A peek around back reveals a well-thought-out cable-management system that conceals unsightly wires in the rack’s main support column behind removable magnetic panels; there’s even room for a power strip. Finished in textured black, the Pedestal is 58.5 inches tall and comes with an adjustable tempered-glass shelf; a second shelf is optional. Price: $799

Epson Pro Cinema LS10000 Projector
Step into the world of high-performance video projection, and you expect a whole host of picture refinements. The THX-certified LS10000 uses three-chip reflective LCD (liquid crystal on quartz) technology and laser illumination to achieve 15 lumens of color and white brightness, “absolute black” contrast ratio, wider color gamut, richer colors, and smoother gradations, according to Epson. Though not 4K/Ultra HD-capable, the 1080p light cannon draws on pixel-shifting processing to double the apparent resolution when fed a 4K signal. It also supports 3D playback (glasses included) and includes a WirelessHD transmitter for connecting up to five HDMI devices simultaneously. ISF calibration tools round out the projector’s enthusiast appeal.
Worry-Free: Because the LS10000 uses a laser light source rated for 30,000 hours of service, you’ll never have to worry about replacing a lamp. Price: $8,000

GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array XL Soundbar
Super, indeed. The new 62-inch-wide XL version of the SuperCinema 3D Array, which nabbed an S&V Top Pick in 2012, is designed to accommodate TVs 65 inches and up. Finished in gloss black with a marble-powder-infused baffle and end caps, the svelte soundbar squeezes eight 4.5-inch woofers and three of GoldenEar’s signature folded-ribbon tweeters into an aluminum enclosure that’s only 4.75 inches tall and 2.75 inches deep; the center section comprises four woofers arranged around a tweeter in what audiophiles call a two-stage D’Appolito array.
Arc of Sound: “3D image optimization technology” uses two drivers on the soundbar’s outermost edges to cancel out crosstalk distortion between the left and right channels. The result? A soundstage that “envelops listeners in a true 180-degree-plus soundfield.” Price: $1,599

Atlantic Technology 44-DA Dolby Atmos–Enabled Speaker
As Dolby Atmos audio products and Blu-ray titles trickle onto the scene, enthusiasts are abuzz over the prospect of creating a three-dimensional listening experience at home but somewhat anxious about how to deal with overhead sound—especially in rooms where mounting speakers in the ceiling is not in the cards. The 44-DA speaker module can be used as a stand-alone “elevation speaker” to update an existing home theater setup for Dolby Atmos playback, or placed atop Atlantic’s 4400 LR speaker for a unified look. Right Angle: A 5.25-inch woofer with a concentric silk-dome tweeter fires from the top of the 5.5 x 8.4 x 9.5-inch enclosure at an angle calculated to achieve a “controlled acoustic scatter” effect as sound bounces off the ceiling. Clever, huh? Price: $499/pr

Artison RCC Nano 1 Subwoofer
You have to see the Nano 1 in person to appreciate how small—and powerful—it is. The handiwork of renowned speaker designer Cary Christie, Artison’s first freestanding subwoofer packs a 300-watt amplifier and two 6.5-inch woofers into an aluminum cabinet that’s less than 9 inches square. Accoutrements include high- and low-level inputs, a 12-volt trigger, IR (infrared) control, and wireless connectivity; a compatible wireless transmitter is available for $99.
Vibration-Free: The Nano 1’s “reactance canceling configuration” and the use of special damping materials is said to minimize vibration, meaning you can put the micro sub on a shelf without having to worry about it crashing to the floor. Frequency range is rated at 32 to 160 hertz. Available in black or white. Price: $899
