This seemed to be an issue in a lot of rooms at CEDIA this year. Big subs with lackluster bass performance in their demos. I bet with the right setup and room, these would play nice though.

Kris Deering  |  Sep 26, 2013  | 
Looking for a Blu-ray media solution to playback your whole library from hard drives? Don’t want to pay Kaleidescape prices?? Dune may just have what you’re looking for. Their media machines can playback MKV and ISO rips of your Blu-ray library from an attached hard drive or NAS drive.

CES 2013: Personal audio
Brent Butterworth  |  Jan 15, 2013  | 

As much as CES 2013 was a headphone show, it was also a Bluetooth show.
