Boston Acoustics Launches the Compact SoundWare S 5.1 Speaker System
Thu Dec 29, 2011 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Boston Acoustics, Speaker Systems (all tags)
The satellites measure in at less than four inches in any direction and are designed to deliver plenty of power in a small package.
It can be a hard concept to grasp, but it's true - some people don't want giant speakers taking up their living room or wall space. To be fair, some people just don't have the room to place regularly sized speakers but still want to enjoy surround sound. For those folks, there's the SoundWare S.
The latest compact speaker system from Boston Acoustics was made as a step up to the SoundWare XS and aims to deliver better sound out of slightly bigger speakers. The system offers true two-way speakers with 3-1/2" mid-bass drivers and 3/4"tweeters.
The SoundWare S also comes with a 10" powered 200 watt subwoofer with a 300 watt peak. The system comes in at $799.

JBL Launches Two New Speaker Systems

Each includes five speakers and an eight inch down-firing subwoofer.
The folks at JBL have announced the launch of two new home theater speaker systems - the Cinema 300 and the Cinema 500. Both come an eight inch subwoofer that looks more than a little like Darth Vader's helmet - this could be a plus or a minus, depending on your tastes.
The real difference between the two systems is in the speakers. The Cinema 300's satellite and center channel speakers offer a single three inch transducer for mids and a one inch transducer for highs. The Cinema 500 doubles up the midrange speakers on each for better overall sound and a 3dB sensitivity difference.
The Cinema 300 is available now at a price of $499, while the Cinema 500 can be had at a price of $699.

Phase Technology Intros the CineMicro One Speaker System
Tue Aug 10, 2010 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Phase Technology, Speaker Systems (all tags)
The 5.1 speaker system has plenty of room to expand.
It can be difficult trying to decide on individual speakers when buying separates. You need to make sure your center channel isn't too weak and that your surrounds aren't too strong, and after a while it gets confusing.
The latest offering from Phase Technology is a full speaker system designed to play nice. You can use the speakers with whatever your current receiver is, assuming it's not pushing over 100 watts per channel.
The system comes with four satellite speakers, one center channel and an 8 inch subwoofer, and can be had in a glossy piano black finish at a price of $938.
If you need to expand from there, you can pick up an extra pair of the two-way satellite speakers for $163.
