Shown here is a better look at one of the upcoming Sharp Limited Edition flat panel. LCDs mentioned in our Wednesday press conference report. The should be available soon.

A new company, called SE2 Labs, introduced the ITC One Integrated Theater Console. Built into its 100+ lbs chassis is a BD player,a full set of electronics including pre-pro and amps, and just about everything else you'll need tg drive your speakers. Lots of external inputs, of course. You'll need cash, too, as the retail price is $30,000. But SE2 Labs claims that if the internal components were purchased separately, they would cost $42,000. An amp-less version is available for home theater fans who like to make that choice themselves, but the cost is the same (balanced outputs are provided).

Esoteric audio also wowed them at CEDIA.

There are several additional members of the Boston Acoustics Vista family, including the center channel and bookshelf models. The subwoofer is not shown.
