LATEST ADDITIONS

Procella Audio introduced its speaker line to the US market at last year's CEDIA Expo, but they are only now starting to ship here. The P815 ($10,000 each), leftmost in the photo above, consists of two sealed cabinets—one for a 15-inch woofer and the other for a 8-inch midrange and 1-inch compression tweeter in a custom-designed waveguide—and each cabinet is powered with 700W of onboard class-D amplification. The passive P8 ($2600 each) and P6 ($1600 each)—hanging on the wall in this photo—both sport the same 1-inch compression driver with an 8-inch and 6.5-inch woofer, respectively.

A trio of powered subwoofers includes the P18 ($10,000) with dual 18-inch drivers and 700Wx2, P15 ($6000) with dual 15-inch drivers and 350Wx2, and P10 ($4000) with dual 10-inch drivers and 350Wx2.

Everyone seems to have a “for” or “against” position on 3D. In my last Blog most who chimed in were against. Very against. But what I’m wondering is, when people say they don’t like 3D, are they referring to the artistic merit of 3D or the technical limitations of many 3D presentations?

Up to now Bose has been primarily an audio company. But the speaker-industry colossus is moving into new territory with the VideoWave, its first video display with integrated audio system.

HT senior editor Tom Norton and Stereophile contributing editor Kal Rubinson offer their impressions of the 2010 CEDIA Expo, including interesting products they saw and heard, their favorite audio and video demos, industry trends, and more.
