The highly popular DSP5200 loudspeaker (and DSP5200HC) has undergone a series of significant updates and is now in full production with an impressive new feature set. Most important of these new features is the inclusion of Meridian's SpeakerLink technology which enables you to connect DSP5200s directly to an 808.2 CD Player or to a Sooloos Control 10 creating the most elegant of digital music systems. The DSP5200s performance has been enhanced too through a host of updates made through its DSP engine |

With the imminent demise of the Pioneer KURO range Panasonic seem to have been all too ready to stomp all over the reference monitor market with their VX100 range. Now we've only just started seeing the PF11 screens in some of the larger screen sizes, but the VX100 is a very different beast indeed. A hand picked Panasonic glass with speciality electronics inside it made for AV Nutters like us using dedicated video processing and and hifi components that cost more than our houses!! Yes before you all ask, the KURO screens still win the black level war. But if you can lift your focus to more than just how black black should be click through and find out more about the screen that replaced our 600M on demo..... |

I knew I would end up eating my words one day... Many of you will know me for my plasma fan boy antics and the fact that I would never consider any LCD TV as a high-end solution for moving images. And until we really get to see and test some of the new batch of JVC LCD TVs I still stand by my past comments. But, have JVC done to LCD TVs what they did with LCD projection when they flipped it on their head with the LCOS projectors? The screen in my mind is the LT-42WX70 LCD Monitor and you'll have to click through to read more |

We just love these new active near-field monitors from Genelec. They're designed for use with a computer system in 2.1 configuration, and work equally well in a small 5.1 system, but the real joy is in just plugging in a Sonos zone player, or iPod or laptop and having real Hi-Fi quality audio from your small portable device! They're so small you could easily put them in a small bag and carry them around with you on your travels - Genelec quality sound on the move. |

Hanbridge Audio are new to the AV industry but do not let this suggest in any way that they are inexperienced at it. Both directors have worked together in high-end audio collaborations over the years, and as we know from having them as Prog AV customers they are exceptionally picky about how they want their AV to look and sound!!!! Step in the Hanbridge Audio 501. A 3-way, full-range speaker, using Isobaric bass layout for a wonderfully smooth response which goes happilly to 23Hz without dip. A technically brilliant design with no corners cut, not a speaker built to a price or spec level. We had it through our demo room a few weeks back |

We have already been through our first few batches of 42PH11, 50PH11 and 42PF11 from Panasonic and the first impressions are excellent! The new panel is far cleaner than before with a very impressive black level performance and natural picture dynamics. A few new features come to play for the calibrator making this an even more suitable screen for video processor users. We have a 42PF11 on demo in our office for anyone who wants to see it in the flesh |

The already popular 42DS9 just got more popular by releasing a gloss white edition unique to the installation market! The TV is already very thin with a tiny bezel, but the all gloss white paint just finishes it off to fit into most contemporary homes very nicely! |
