Top Pick of the Year:

Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek 130 G4 Projection Screen
(April/May) Read Review

The fourth generation of Stewart Filmscreen's popular StudioTek 130 (ST130) screen material improves on the previous generation while offering a bump in overall brightness to meet the demands of 4K/HDR sources. In his in-depth review of the new ST130 G4, Kris Deering concluded, "Stewart has massively improved what was already one of the industry's best screens. If you're looking for a true reference gain screen for your theater, it should be at the top of your list." $1,484 (material only), stewartfilmscreen.com

It's nice to see a range of pricing across your picks - good to see a mid-range priced bookshelf speaker as your top pick of the year, and a $700 set of B&Ws to sit alongside some of the $5,000 options. It's a lot more helpful to most readers than just leaning hard into the top-end.

The feature set of that Monoprice preamp looks amazing, but am I the only one who thinks it looks ugly as sin? The aesthetics of most of monoprice's gear makes me cringe.

Couldnt agree more.

I havent heard any of their products other than basic hdmi cables and the like.

I find it hard to believe they can copycat their way into such high quality but maybe im mistaken.

This coming from someone who uses an old anthem receiver that is not the prettiest girl at the party but it does quite well under most conditions.
