The Ultimate TV Hack, OLED News Impacting Your Wallet, a BIG Klipsch Giveaway, and MORE on HTNR!

full?d=1729130755.png

(October 16, 2024) On this week's edition of the Home Theater News Review Podcast, MediaLight has released a new bias lighting kit (MK2 v2) that promises to enhance your viewing experience. We dive into what’s new and why it outshines cheap LED strips. Focal has launched a new wireless active loudspeaker called Diva Utopia, and Arendal Sound has announced a new line of speakers called 1528. We talk about both and dig into what they're all about. Also on the audio front, we discuss Fasetto's Audio Cu audio over power line technology, Cambridge Audio's new EXA100 Integrated Amp and EXN100 Music Streamer, Qobuz's Introduction of DSD and DXD downloads, and iFi Audio's new Stealth Edition hip-dac 3. And to round things out, we jump into the world of TVs and talk about two big stories happening in the OLED segment, both of which may impact your wallet. Also, we reveal a big Klipsch Flexus Core 200 Soundbar Giveaway Contest and tell you how to score a free extra entry!

You can listen on YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes. Links to those and links to everything discussed above are below...

Hello Todd, are there any sleek minimal black box cinemas in the new HT book or are they all blingy-themed HTs? Sadly the sample HT images on the web page were not at all our jam.. Cheers.

Hmmm…. I think it’s mainly heavily themed theaters, but I’ll check in the AM!

So, the book doesn’t have sleek/minimal theaters in it. They’re heavily themed and decorated!
