KEF had a small booth, but a lot to show. Its updated XQ speaker line was particularly interesting. Gone are the pod-like supertweeters sitting atop the cabinets. Instead the tweeter in the company's UniQ concentric drivers has been re-engineered to handle all the high frequency chores. The XQ 30 floor stander, shown, will run $3400/pair. Not shown are the matching bookshelf model, the XQ 10, at $1400/pair, and the $1200 XQ 50 center.

When Optoma first showed their Big Vision rear projection DLP system, they thought it would a hit in new build residential applications. As it turns out, two years later, it's the business market that's most interested in this 30" deep assemblage that can be built into board rooms, conference rooms and yeah, in a pinch, a home theater.
