Imagine taking a complete rack system and condensing it into a single chassis. Maybe it sounds like science fiction or just a system's integrator's pipedream. Michael Pyle, the president of SE2 Labs, was a systems integrator and knows all the ups and downs of the trade. What once was a pipedream is now a reality in the form of the ITC One.

High-end speaker maker Burmester, US introduced a trio of slim speakers at CEDIA. All three speakers &ndash; the B30, B25, and B20 &ndash; are three-way, full-range, floorstanding models. Each uses a new air motion transformer (with a frequency range of 2,700 &ndash; 45,000 Hz) that's mounted in a small horn. This high-frequency driver design is said to be highly efficient and highly dynamic. The speakers also share a similarly engineered side-firing oval woofer with a powerful Ferrite magnet system. The oval shape helps maximize the cone's surface area while making it possible to construct a narrow speaker cabinet.
