0609_gg200Getting a new TV can be both a blessing and a curse. It can mean redecorating a room or at the very least figuring out what kind of speakers will best complement it. You guys tend to want big tower speakers that can overwhelm a space while us girls want something that's, uh, more attractive. Believe me, I'm all about surround sound and powerful speakers, but I don't want them cluttering up a room. Audiovox's Acoustic Research may have found the answer. Its new Home Décor line offers a speaker system that combines with decorative covers that disguise the speakers and subs. The entire 5.1-channel system ($899) - which includes five satellite speakers and a 10-inch ported subwoofer with a built-in 175-watt digital amplifier - can be camouflaged with an interesting variety of covers ($40 to $80), including mantel clocks (shown at left), candle holders, faux books, floor-stand baskets, and wall sconces. I especially liked the vintage trunks that hold the subs (shown above, $150 to $200).

Finally, the rock speaker has evolved.

This article about hiding speakers in home décor is fascinating! It’s great when technology blends into the room without ruining the design. While decorating living spaces, I think we should also focus on comfort and relaxation. One way to enhance that comfort is choosing the best mattress for your bedroom. A good mattress ensures you wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy your living room’s sound system without back pain or exhaustion. Whether watching movies or listening to music, the experience feels better when you’ve had quality sleep. So, while hiding speakers is cool, don’t forget to invest in the best mattress for a perfect home setup.
