GenevaSound Home Theater

By Nick Mokey Published October 19, 2009

Why buy a home theater cabinet to fill with a pile of boxy home theater system components when you can just buy one unit that is your home theater system? So goes the logic behind GenevaSound’s new Home Theater, a black slab of furniture that houses everything you need to rock, built right in.

From the outside, the Swiss-built system looks like any other flat-screen TV stand, albeit an exceptionally modern and refined-looking one. Save for the circular bulge in its front door, it’s all sharp edges, from its cleanly segmented front panels to the metal framework below that gives it a few inches of clearance off the ground. And all black, too.

Inside, though, it’s totally unique. Geneva has packaged seven speakers, a 12-inch subwoofer, a 700-watt amplifier, CD player, and FM radio into one unit. The cabinet even includes an iPod/iPhone dock notched into its top, making a discrete and tasteful home for your player. And though the design minimizes the need for outside components, there’s room for video accessories like Blu-ray players, game consoles, and cable boxes inside, too.

The GenevaSound Home Theater retails for $3,999, which is far more than the fiberboard-and-plastic models you can pick up at the local retailers, but on the other hand, it’s far more than just a box, too. More information can be found at Geneva’s Web site.

Go big or go home: Samsung’s 98-inch TV is $1,000 off

Samsung 98-inch DU9000 4K TV.

Most people won't likely look at or need a TV over 75 or even 85 inches, but if you've ever wanted to go as truly large as you can, then this massive 98-inch TV from Samsung might be worth looking at. Samsung makes some of the best TVs on the market, so it's no surprise that the brand has pulled out such a huge screen for those who want it. That said, it is quite pricey, and while it usually goes for an eye-watering $4,000, you can actually get it for $3,000 directly from Samsung. While that is still isn't cheap, that $1,000 discount is quite significant.

Why you should buy the 98-inch Samsung Crystal UHD DU9000
Of course, because the Samsung Crystal UHD DU9000 is so expensive, it comes with all the bells and whistles you'd expect of such an excellent screen. For example, while most TVs tend to come with a 50-60Hz refresh rate, this one can handle up to 120Hz, which makes it not only excellent for solo gaming but also for couch co-op games with split screens. That said, it only runs a 4K resolution, which might be a problem for a screen that big if you're sitting close to it, although it does have a 4K AI upscaler, so at least you down have to throw away some of your older content.

No more speaker cables? New tech uses your home’s power lines to transmit audio

A set of Fasetto Audio Cu devices.

Imagine being able to place your existing wired speakers anywhere you have a power outlet, instead of running speaker cable through walls, or under carpets. That's the promise of Audio Cu, a technology developed by Scottsdale, Arizona-based Fasetto.

Audio Cu uses your home's existing power lines to transmit up to 10 channels of lossless, hi-res audio at up to 24-bit/192 kHz from a single transmitter to multiple receivers. Fasetto recently received Dolby Atmos certification for Audio Cu from Dolby Labs and the company claims it is the first audio-over-power-line manufacturer to do so.

Bose SoundLink Home is a small and sleek portable speaker

Bose SoundLink Home.

Bose has added another Bluetooth speaker to its SoundLink lineup of portables. The SoundLink Home Speaker is a sleek and slender unit that doubles as a speakerphone and can be stereo-paired with a second SoundLink Home for more immersive sound. It can be ordered starting October 1, in Light Silver or Cool Gray, for $219. If you live in China, there's also a "Warm Wood" option. For now, the speaker is being sold exclusively through Bose's website.

Unlike Bose's other SoundLink speakers, the SoundLink Home is intended as an app-free experience -- just power up the speaker and pair it with your favorite smartphone. Actually, with Bluetooth Multipoint, you can pair it to two phones simultaneously -- but you'll have to referee the fights between the phone owners.
