Gold Rush
Scott Wilkinson  |  Dec 04, 2009

In my never-ending quest for the ultimate in performance, design, and/or price, I came across the GA Star from a British company heretofore unknown to me&#151;<A href="http://www.goldacoustics.com">Gold Acoustics</A>. This unique speaker is unlike any other I've seen, and while it certainly looks shiny, I can't help wondering if it delivers the sonic goods.

GoldenEar TritonCinema Speaker System
Scott Wilkinson  |  Jan 24, 2011
One of the biggest audio sensations at CES wasn't a megabucks speaker—it was the Triton Two tower from GoldenEar Technology. The company was recently started by Sandy Gross and Don Givogue, who had been partners at Definitive Technology (Gross also co-founded Polk), to raise the bar on speaker performance and value. They seem to have hit a home run with the Triton Two, which is available in a stereo pair or as part of the TritonCinema multichannel system for a price that will surprise you.

GoldenEar vs. Morel
Scott Wilkinson  |  Oct 17, 2011
The reviews of the GoldenEar SuperCinema 3 (seen in the lower portion of the image above) and Morel SoundSpot Music Theatre 2 Ultra speaker systems came out at roughly the same time. The Morels appear to have better performance and build quality according to their ratings, and yet they are not considered as good a value despite being in essentially the same price category. Do the Morels really sound better, or is their sound measured against how tiny they are?

Normally, I profile extreme products in this blog. But when I saw these photos of Goldmund's new showroom in Seoul, South Korea, I had to share them with you.

Gone But Not Forgotten
Scott Wilkinson  |  Jan 18, 2011
And so the sun has set on another CES—as it did over these train tracks as I wended my way home—but that doesn't mean our coverage is over. Stay tuned for more videos we shot at the show, which will continue to be posted over the course of this week.

What will we see and hear at next year's confab? More 3D video and audio, more tablets and apps, and more than a few surprises, I'm sure. Meanwhile, UAV will continue to bring you the ultimate in all things audio and video. Here's to a great 2011!

CEDIA 2010
Gone But Not Forgotten
Scott Wilkinson  |  Sep 27, 2010
The 2010 CEDIA Expo may be over, but the memory lingers on. In fact, I saw so much that I couldn't post all of it during the show, so I'll be posting more stories—along with my photos from the floor—all this week. Meanwhile, here's my take on the event as a whole.

Good Enough Isn't
Scott Wilkinson  |  Feb 17, 2008

Last week, I asked readers to weigh in on whether they want more audio-product reviews without objective measurements or fewer reviews with measurements. I've gotten quite a few responses so far, for which I'm grateful, but I'm going to wait one more week before revealing the results and <I>UAV</I>'s policy in this regard. If you haven't voted yet, feel free to do so by adding a comment to <A href="http://blog.ultimateavmag.com/scottwilkinson/021008question/">last week's blog</A> or e-mailing me at <A HREF="mailto:scott.wilkinson@sourceinterlink.com">scott.wilkinson@sourceinterlink.com</A>

Good News for Plasma
Scott Wilkinson  |  Feb 08, 2011
Whenever anyone starts proclaiming that plasma is a dying technology, I put my hands over my ears and start singing, "La, la, la, I can't hear you!" Sure, LCD TVs have come a long way in terms of black levels and motion detail thanks to LED illumination and frame interpolation, but these are work-arounds for problems that most plasmas never had in the first place—and they often come with their own odious artifacts, such as frame interpolation's "soap-opera effect." So it was with great glee that I read a report in This Week In Consumer Electronics about a study from market-research firm DisplaySearch, which found that shipments of plasma panels to TV manufacturers in 2010 were way up from the previous year.

Google TV & Logitech Revue Demo
Scott Wilkinson  |  Oct 15, 2010
I have seen the future of television, and it is Google TV. On Wednesday, I attended a demo of the much-ballyhooed service as well as a new suite of products from Logitech that brings it to consumers in a simple yet sophisticated way, and I was highly impressed
