CES 2009

LG showed a whole range of audio systems (upscale home theaters in a box) voiced by Mark Levinson. That's Mark Levinson the man (in LG's terminology, Mr. Mark Levinson), not the company which uses his name (he has not been associated with that company for many years).

The system shown here is a prototype, so few details, and definitely no pricing or shipping dates were given. But LG devoted a relatively large booth room to the demo, so it is most certainly a work in progress. It sounded pleasant at low levels with multichannel music videos from a Dolby TrueHD demo disc, but I'd like to hear it at more realistic sound levels, with a wide range of sources. Someday, perhaps.
