Pete Putman reveals that, at first, he paid the Optoma H56 DLP front projector little attention. And then he set one up for the 2003 Super Bowl, which lead to a complete review of the sub-$5k projector.

Michael Fremer positions the complete $21,000 Audio Physic Virgo III surround speaker system into place and then wonders whether "using speakers capable of exceptionally stunning imaging would make sense in a home theater."

In theory, says Peter Putnam, the Zenith HD230 HDTV receiver-DVR should be one step ahead of the competition. PP explains why, and more when he reviews the latest tapeless tuner/hard-disk recorder that offers some unique features, but omits others.

Michael Fremer sets up the B&W CM Series surround speaker system in his audio/video room and gives them a complete workout. MF comments, "What B&W chose to do with the CM Series is blend good looks, high build-quality, and typically rich 'British sound' into an affordable package."
