Polk Audio has entered the smart speaker race with a compact Google-powered speaker that supports voice control and wireless audio streaming.

Italian speaker maker Sonus faber today announced the Sonetto collection, an eight-model speaker series slated to hit U.S. stores in late August.

Vizio today introduced a space-saving 36-inch soundbar featuring DTS Virtual:X surround processing and built-in “deep-bass modules.”

SōLIS S0-8000 Tube Audio System
If you crave the warm glow (and sound) of tubes but are short on cash, SōLIS has a tube-based music system you might be interested in. The centerpiece of the SO-8000 system is an integrated amplifier with a preamp driven by two vacuum tubes. Not just any tube, mind you, but the iconic 12AX7, which has been in production since RCA introduced it in 1947.

Elite Screens has added a touch of magic to outdoor entertainment with a new accessory that automatically lowers (and retracts) its Yard Master Electric Series of retractable outdoor projection screens.

James Loudspeaker sells just about any kind of speaker you could want—or imagine. You can choose among its dozens of high-performance models and buy “off the shelf” or have a particular model customized with a special finish or feature. Or, you can get creative and dream up your own speaker design. The California-based company prides itself on its ability to meet the unique needs of its customers, whether that means solving an installation problem or creating something special…and personal. James built more than 300 custom products in 2017 alone, but the Steampunk Speaker is perhaps its most interesting—and unusual—project.
