We have 10 new tower speakers in stock from PSB, DALI, SPENDOR & FYNE, from $779/pair. Some have walnut, oak or black finishes. Most of our new speakers have 5 year warranties. Fyne speakers have won rave reviews from STEREOPHILE & ABSOLUTE SOUND & have 7 year warranties.

SOUNDBARS vs. AV RECEIVERS

Even the best soundbars have far less sound quality or flexibility than less costly small speakers with AV receivers. Most of our AV receivers include wifi internet, Bluetooth wireless streaming; five or more analog & digital inputs, plus can power speakers, wired or wireless in up to five rooms. Soundbars omit these features.

A SOUND+VISION test of a top-rated $1700 soundbar confirms this. Soundbars are made for perfectly symmetrical rooms that are seldom found in any home. "This soundbar has little bass. The left "surround speaker" seemed to be in front rather than behind me. It sounded like a crappy tabletop system: not much stereo separation & thin, lifeless sonics will leave you wondering why you spent $1700. There's no apparent surround info with the 3D surround mode. Freq. resp. is 200-10k within 7db. The two 4" woofers have a 40W amp & 44 about 1" speakers have an 88W amp. It is 43" wide x 8.4" high." SOUND+VISION Though this is one of the best sound bars, the reviewer thought it needed a $1000 sub. Most soundbars are far worse.

Our smallest separate speakers & AV receivers work far better. Our under $1200 system has deeper bass, smoother, more spacious sound & is more flexible. We include four top-rated Elac B5.2 speakers. ABSOLUTE SOUND, "sounds terrific, exquisitely balanced & music; exceptional." We include an Elac center, a Yamaha subwoofer & 5 channel receiver, the RXV385, with: 4 4k HDMI; component & composite video; 3 digital inputs, USB, 3 analog inputs, sub output, headphone jack, AM/FM tuner, plus outputs for 5 speakers. Most soundbars don't have any of these features. Instead of only 88W total, there's 80 watts by 5 channels. For $99, we include an Audio-Technica turntable with 33/45rpm; diamond needle cartridge + built-in phono preamp.



YAMAHA SOUNDBARS 

We stock Yamaha's most affordable soundbar, the YAS108, $199 with Bluetooth wireless streaming, HDMI inputs and built-in amp. This Yamaha soundbar has smoother response than competing models for twice as much.


DALI

Dali is one of Europe's leading speaker manufacturers. Their products have earned the praise of STEREOPHILE + ABSOLUTE SOUND for quality construction, outstanding sound + tremendous value. Features include wood pulp midrange & woofer cones; ribbon tweeters for extended, smooth treble + soft dome tweeters that have a sweeter sound than the common metal tweeters; precision-engineered crossovers + well-braced, Danish furniture quality cabinetry. ABSOLUTE SOUND calls the $5995/pair DALI RUBICON 6 "Bold, effortless, superb." The Opticons, all made in Denmark excel in sound, value and appearance.


YAMAHA AV RECEIVERS 
      Yamaha is famous for great value + reliability. Our receivers are new in sealed boxes with 2 year parts/labor warranty, wireless Bluetooth, USB, 4k or 8k HDMI, plus a standard microphone to analyze room acoustics with automatic adjustments for best sound. All but RXV385 have wifi internet for Airplay, Internet radio, DLNA Music Streaming, Spotify, etc. RXV4 can power 5 speakers in one room & 2 in a second. RXV4 has 80W/ch, 8 ohms, 20-20k at 0.09% distortion & has 6 HDMI inputs & one HDMI output. Yamaha RXV6 is our most affordable AV receiver with built-in phono preamp, plus has Dolby Atmos, providing two additional front channels with height information, so you could hear a rocket or helicopter rising up from the floor level

How to Improve your Home Theater System

Most home theater receivers have power ratings that melt away like a snow man in the hot sun. HOME THEATER tested a $600  Denon receiver rated at 125W/ch. With all channels running, the tested power is under 53 watts/ch. However, you can easily fix this problem.

If your receiver has preamp outputs, hooking up a good separate power amp makes your system come alive. Beyond getting a larger quantity of watts, you'll get far better quality watts. Power amps have more robust power supplies, which enable them to have richer and deeper bass, plus imaging that you can touch and feel.

HOME THEATER compared a $5200 Denon and $7000 Lexicon receivers with a $2000 Marantz power amp. The amp "easily won in every department, especially treble transient clarity, transparency + resolution, with an airy, open, extended yet sweet top end; far superior to Denon, which was closed in. The Marantz amp produced complete sonic satisfaction at any volume; combined delicacy, detail, transparency and a velvety overall sheen. Bass more supple, subtle, better textured and less mechanical than the Denon. I doubt any receiver at any price can match the amp's sonic performance."

HOME THEATER


     Big TVs are not home theater systems. Most TVs are sold without an audio system. The speakers in a $1000 TV are only 1" across and cost under a dollar. The amps inside TVs have very low power, often under 10 watts and very high distortion, 10% or more. Even our smallest and least expensive speakers sound far better than the speakers in big screen TVs.

     The sound system is an essential part of the home theater experience. Much of the enjoyment of action movies comes from hearing the soundtrack. We have new home theater systems with a Yamaha HDMI receiver, 5 speakers & a subwoofer, starting under $100. Our better home theater systems sound better than movie theaters.    

    HOME THEATER & many other magazines recommend MARANTZ. PLAYBACK magazine top-rated a Marantz above all other AV receivers tested. "What made it a standout design is just how easy it was to install & use. We never had to consult the owner's manual to get the job done. The remote deserves special mention. It's just so darn well laid out & easy to master; it also helps that it's completely backlit, so we could actually see all the buttons in our darkened home theater." It was the only receiver earning the highest grades for user interface, plus movie & music sound quality. 

    MARANTZ AV receivers have discrete amp channels, plus 4k or 8k HDMI for best video. The NR1200 is only 4" hig. Marantz AV receivers include Bluetooth for smart phones; wifi and wired internet for music streaming, including Pandora, Spotify, Napster, Rhapsody and more. You can use wired speakers with A/B switching or Marantz wireless speakers for other rooms or outdoors.

     All Marantz CD's, amps and receivers have 3 years parts and labor warranties. For many decades, reviewers have praised MARANTZ for its warm, rich sound, ease of use and comprehensive, easy to operate remote controls.

YAMAHA AV receivers all include wireless blutooth for Smart phones, including RXV385. Inputs include 4 HDMI 4k, 1 USB, 2 RCA digital, 1 Toslink [or optical], 2 RCA analog & 2 RCA video composite. 
     The YAMAHA RXVA4 AV receiver for $449 adds many features, including 4k or 8k HDMI, RCA digital, 1 Toslink [or optical], 3 RCA analog & 3 RCA video composite. This 5 channel receiver lets you connect 5 speakers in one room and up to 5 wireless speakers in your home or backyard. It includes Wifi or wired internet connections music streaming, including Pandora, Spotify, Napster, Rhapsody and more.
Yamaha's Musicast speakers can lets you put sound wirelessly throughout your home. The speakers can work directly with bluetooth devices. MARANTZ and YAMAHA AV receivers are renowned for their features, flexibility and great value. Most Marantz and Yamaha AV receivers feature:

1] HDMI video inputs for HD picture quality & simpler, easier connections.  



2] A/B speaker outputs for two rooms with double banana speaker jacks for better sound with quality cables and connectors. The $149 Parasound speaker switcher lets you connect up to 10 speakers [or 5 pairs] throughout your home.



3] Learning remotes that run most any TV, DVD, satellite, cable, etc. Your home theater experience is much more enjoyable with one remote control running everything, rather than fishing between seven different remote controls.

4] Multi-zone; different music can play simultaneously in different rooms. While you are watching a surround sound DVD in one room, the FM radio, for example, can play in another room. The only things needed are another pair of speakers and the wire to connect them.

5] Preamp outputs for easy upgrades. The receiver becomes a tuner-preamp. If you want more power, you can plug a 200W or 400W/ch amp or whatever power you prefer directly to receiver. We have Marantz and Parasound amps with deeper bass, more power and better SOUND quality than receivers. Marantz and Parasound have five channel power amps. Yamaha has seven channel amps. Additionally, Parasound power amps also include one and three channel models. You can set up a home theater system with up to 600W/ch, far more than any AV receiver. More importantly, the quality of sound, from the deepest bass to the vocal tracks to the highest treble will be amazing and intriguing without any stain. We also have separate processors that plug directly to a power amp. Many Marantz and Yamaha receivers can also be used as processer if ever you wish to add more power'

6] Video up-conversion to improve video quality. While DVD players can use an HDMI connection, VCR's use a composite video connection. With our receivers, you would have to use this cable between the receiver & TV, reducing the video quality. Video upconversion enables you to use the highest type of cable, noticeably improving video quality.



7] On-Screen Display enables you to see any changes you make on the remote control or receiver's front panel on your TV screen. This greatly helps when setting up your system.



8] A Built-in Equalizer automatically adjusts all channels when you set up the receiver. A microphone is included, which you can place at your favorite listening seat.



 HOME THEATER & STEREOPHILE magazines praise PARASOUND's high performance, high value amps. Parasounds have more power and better sound quality than any receiver. Parasound's 5 year warranty is far longer than any receiver. 



AV PRE & POWER AMPS
Some people need more power & better sound than any receiver can deliver. Preamp processors & power amps have more features, greater flexibility, better bass, smoother sound and vastly more power than any receiver. Parasound A51 has 250W/ch, 8 ohm, 400W, 4 ohm with all channels running. Even the most expensive receivers can't do this. HOME THEATER stated, "Don't expect a receiver to have the power and punch that only a power amp
can provide." 

MARANTZ
MM8003, 8 channel power amp, $2399 "Tested power, one channel, 192W, 8 ohm; 289W, 4 ohm." 



AV8801 Surround Processor, $3,599
Home Theater:
Marantz's new top-of-the-line performed so well in reviewer David Vaughn's system, it earned a place as his new reference. 

PARASOUND HALO A51   power amp, EDITOR'S CHOICE  "Powerful & flexible power amp with impressive sound. Excellent value."  HI-FI CHOICE,

 SPEAKERS


      Most speaker companies buy parts from a few generic manufacturers and put these in a cabinet. Every speaker we carry is from a company that designs and manufactures every part in their own factory. The benefits include better sounding, more durable speakers of higher value, since you're not paying multiple companies' markups. We choose our speakers for superior sound quality and value, not for the biggest ad budget. We've tried over 20 other brands that didn't pass our high standards.
