Martin Logan unveield a completely redesigned Descent subwoofer, dubbed the Descent-i, because it's an improved version of the Descent, but I bet you already guessed that.

Dynaudio made an impression with their Confidence C-4 in a new piano black finish, for only $18,000 a pair MSRP. Liberace would be proud.

JL Audio exhibited an exploded view of the JL F-113 Subwoofer. If you have a spare spot in your living room they will gladly make one for you - beats a Damien Hirst Shark.

Got 02? Sales of fresh 100% oxygen were brisk in the show hall.

"Room Service, can I have a regular desk chair? I can't figure out how to sit in this one."

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.) The sides of both models feature flat side mounted driver arrays that shoot the sound out to the sides and, presumably, around the room enough to fill in for what isn't in the back. 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.

Never fails. Audio folks never know how to setup video displays. This plasma is set to SuperDuper Scope, something like 3:1. That's an aspect ratio that would make Lawrence of Arabia blush.

Oh, I could tell you about the Yamaha's RX-V2700 7.1 channel receiver's Ethernet connection lets you access Internet radio stations and music stored on computer drives, or how the RX-V2700 has 140 watts for each of its seven channels, or about how they extended the room optimization (equalization) module to go down to 31 Hz instead of 63Hz. Or I could mention that the receiver will supersize your 480i video to 480p, or even 720p or 1080i using the Anchor Bay Technology's ABT1010 video chip. Or I could say that if you use Yamaha's $100 iPod docking station, you can control the iPod with the receiver's remote. Or I could say that the can get all this for only $1,699.
