Have a read - it's utterly refreshing to hear about a gadget-guru's approach to surround sound - and the fact that his sound system is down-to-earth and not an unattainable mega-bucks ear-bleeder. As Adam says, "When it comes to home entertainment most people seem to treat surround sound as an afterthought, if they bother with it at all. Of all my friends with large, widescreen televisions, very few have a surround sound system or even stereo speakers to boost the sound. I guess itâs because surround sound seems like more of a luxury.... continue reading
6 September 2011 By: Stephen Scott (Not yet rated - click here to be the first)The Bayside Bulletin have taken an interest in our response to David Jones announcing a "new" concept of personalised shopping / personalised service ... when customer service is, and has always been, the lychpin of specialist stores like ours. While some people are turning to internet shopping there are many industry aspects the web can't match. Firstly, we donât just talk to our customers, we listen to them: that's something that you can't get on the internet. A website canât explain how a tiled floor will affect the sound quality from your speakers, or evaluate your situation to help you figure out what the perfect solution is for you. Sure personalised service costs more than products from the internet, but you get what you pay for. Our customised help will beat an online purchase any day of the week when it comes down to the customer getting the perfect item to suit their needs. Finally, by buying from a local, author... continue reading
13 October 2009 By: Stephen Scott (Not yet rated - click here to be the first)So you've got your incredible new television, now you want to mount it on your wall. Here's an easy overview to help you get the exact model. The quickest way is to confirm the weight, size & mounting standard of your TV (in the first three columns on the left), then scan the options to find your perfect fit. Tips on using this chart: Max Weight & Screen Size - check the details with the information provided with your television. If your TV is slightly larger than the specs below, but easily falls under the maximum weight, you should still be OK using that bracket. Hide Mount - the width and height of your TV needs to be this minimum to ensure you can't see the bracket when standing in front of your mounted television. Tilt / Swivel - some of our brackets give you the ability to move the TV. Great for areas like the kitchen or bedroom where you have multiple viewing angles.... continue reading
25 June 2010 By: Stephen Scott (Not yet rated - click here to be the first)We've had a lot of questions since Samsung launched the 3D TV revolution, and it's only fair we pass on the knowledge we've collected. So without much further ado... Myth #1: You don't need two TVs! Blame it on poor advertising by the manufacturers, but some people believe that 3D TVs can only display 3D. Not true. 3D TVs just happen to be the top-of-the-line Plasma and LED TVs in the range - they need to be to have the refresh rate to display left & right images so quickly that they eye can't discern it without glasses. And trust us on this, the Full High Definition 1,080p images on these sets when they're not in 3D mode are fantastic! Myth #2: You need special glasses. OK, this one's actually true. The agreed standard by the industry is to use Active Shutter Glasses - a fancy name for a simple concept. These powered glasses alternately allow each eye to see a different image. The... continue reading
24 February 2010 By: Stephen Scott (Not yet rated - click here to be the first)3D TV will debut in Australia in April when Samsung introduces their 3D compatible LED, LCD and Plasma television range and their first 3D Blu-Ray Player. Just a pesky rumour in 2009, 3D TV is the buzz-phrase of 2010, with leading manufacturers showcasing their models at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. The first 3D ready televisions being released are Samsung’s LED7000, LED8000 & LED9000 series, Plasma 7000 series and above, and 750 Series LCD TVs – each of which features a 3D auto-conversion chip that can render 2D content into 3D in real time. Other manufacturers releasing 3D TVs this year include Sharp (60” Aquos), Panasonic (Viera in July), Sony (LX900 Bravia in July), LG Electronics & Toshiba. Prices for all models have yet to be released, but aren’t expected to be much higher than similar LED, LCD and Plasmas already on the market. ... continue reading

L aser TV debuted in a blaze of glory in late 2008 and went straight to the top of many people’s must-have list … but it’s almost 2010 and Australia still hasn’t seen the plasma-killer. Mitsubishi have released their 65” LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV in the USA (Model L65A90) at a recommended retail of $US6,999 (you can find it on Amazon at an enormous 1% off). But it’s the only model available – from anyone. Apart from an R&D company in the US announcing in September 09 that they’re working on a 100” 3D Laser TV, the rest of the manufacturing world is very quiet on the topic. But here’s the big sticking point - why isn’t Laser TV available for sale here in Australia? We checked with the local Mitsubishi re... continue reading
28 August 2009 By: Stuart Taylor (Not yet rated - click here to be the first)There are three main elements that ensure that a Subwoofer is truly a well-built, high-performance unit and not just another big "boom box." 1. Amplifier Board The quality of the amplifier board inside the subwoofer is critical to its performance. A high current toroidal power supply delivers massive amounts of clean wattage, essential for tight, controlled bass. A heat sink ensures operation even through extended bass recordings. Most subwoofers below $2000 don’t use high quality boards like the ones found in the Steinman Audio Labs' SMS range which is used in this article as a comparative example. 2. Box Design The right box can make as much as 50% difference to the performance of a subwoofer. A well-built enclosure with internal bracing and non-vibrating materials reduces standing waves and allows the driver to deliver a tight controlled bass… so you only hear the noises... continue reading
