DVD: Ghost Ship—Warner Brothers
Audio: 3
Video: 3
Extras: 2
A horror movie just isn't as terrifying without the presence of a ghost girl. While Ghost Ship's little moppet goes against the malevolent stereotype, she's no less creepy in this tale of an unsuspecting salvage crew attempting to recover a 40-year-old Titanic-like ocean liner.

MartinLogan Descent subwoofer
Fred Manteghian  |  Mar 12, 2003  |  0 comments

The adage goes something like this: "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." I'm guessing Gayle Sanders, president of MartinLogan, heard that one a lot while growing up. As the leading manufacturer of hybrid electrostatic speakers, MartinLogan's product line has been largely silent on the subject of subwoofers, with the notable exception of the two imposing subwoofer stacks packaged with their flagship Statement system. But their dealers have said plenty, recommending third-party subs that satisfy the primal urges of home-theater natives.

Sony SAT-HD200 & Zenith HD-SAT520 DirecTV/digital television receivers
Joel Brinkley  |  Mar 10, 2003  |  0 comments

Sony and Zenith have enviable records in the world of DirecTV and digital television set-top boxes. Sony's first such product, the SAT-HD100, was among the best on the market, with topnotch performance and a host of enviable features. That receiver, along with one by Panasonic, were the two most sensitive I had ever seen. And while the Sony had some problems, among them a noisy fan and the lack of aspect-ratio control, last year I judged it the best of a troubled lot.
