Sunfire kicks out HRS satellite speakers to complement subwoofer

If you've fallen head over heels in love with your HRS subwoofer, Sunfire's looking to help you round out your surround system with satellites to match. Announced this week at EHX in Orlando, the company is bringing the $450 HRS Sat-4 and $500 HRS-SAT4C Center to market. As expected, each of the glossy black speakers will tout a curved design, cast aluminum front baffle, a 4.5-inch High Back-emf woofer (two for the Center in a D'Appolito configuration) and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter. Additionally, each speaker can handle 200-watts of RMS power, and if these things deliver half the delight of HRS subbies, we'd say Sunfire has a couple more winners on its hands here.

Meridian announces MF10 1080p D-ILA projector at EHX


Every so often, a projector hits the market that's just so delectable, it's hard to stop fantasizing about what pieces of your kids' rooms could be auctioned off in order to procure it. Enter the $14,995 Meridian MF10, which is most certainly one those units. Packin' a totally familiar black chassis, three 0.7-inch 1080p D-ILA chips, a native 30,000:1 contrast ratio, 700 lumens, and a 2x zoom lens (2:35:1 Cinemascope is optional), this PJ exudes confidence. You'll also find a pair of HDMI 1.3 ports along with component, S-Video and composite (saywha?), an RS-232 control terminal and the ability to play nice with the firm's $3,995 DVP2351 digital video processor (shown after the jump). Yeah, they're both available as we speak, but can your Centurion Card really handle it? [Warning: PDF read link]

ATON shows off Storm Series speakers, DLA technology at EHX


VUDU's announcement to team up with a number of big names in the home automation biz isn't the only news coming out of Orlando this week, as ATON is also down at EHX showcasing its Storm Series speakers and DLA Speaker Level Audio Routers. The former, which consists of 19 new speakers including ceiling, in-wall, theater and outdoor models, began shipping out late last month. Essentially, ATON's hoping to provide a wide array of choices in order to deliver whole-home audio solutions for customers willing to fork out anywhere between $139 and $479 per driver. Moving on, we've got the outfit's Dynamic Level Adjustment technology, which is being utilized in its newest audio routers ($299 to $499) designed to efficiently deliver and control audio throughout a home / building. Heck, the company is even coming out with in-wall Touchpads that will enable guests in any nook or cranny to control what's happening in their area. Click on through for the full release.

FUZE minimizes its latest media PC system


FUZE Media Systems is back, this time shrinking its "whole-home" media PC system to a more "whole-apartment" media PC system. Dubbed the Mini Edition, its brings together the FuzeBox HTPC and is setup for two video and four audio zones, specifically configured for residences with 2-3 TVs. Upgradable to a full FUZE Media System, the server includes 4GB of memory, 750GB HDD storage and a 2.2GHz processor. Of course, like its big brother this is meant to be sold through a network of installers, but they'll be able to get a look at EHX starting tomorrow (hopefully this time at a system that's been turned on), with systems available some time in the second quarter.

Control4 intros new line of in-wall / in-ceiling speakers at EHX

Although Control4 is best known for its home automation kit, the firm is using the spotlight at EHX to show off a new line of multi-room speakers. The 6.5- and 8-inch In-Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers (and In-Ceiling Stereo Speakers) all sport a two-way design, and they'll all play nice with the outfit's Wi-Fi Speaker Point, too. As for the drivers, they feature dual polymer cones, silk dome (pivoting) tweeters and rubber surrounds; hit up your dealer this summer if you're down with paying between $199 and $399 per pair.

Philips ups its FlatTV lineup with 47-inch LCD and 63-inch plasma

Ok, so it's not quite as impressive as the 100-inch, Ambilight-equipped LCD Philips has to brag about, but the company has unveiled a pair of impressive FlatTV displays today at the Electronic House Expo in California. First up is the 47-inch LCD TV (47PF9441D), which touts the surely (or not) astounding 1080p spec and also features "Virtual Dolby Digital" audio, while the 63-inch plasma (63PF9631D) gets stuck with the seemingly indistinguishable 1080i and a built-in USB connector to stream images / MP3s without the need for an HTPC. Both units tout HDMI ports as well as Philips' Pixel Plus 3HD technology, which supposedly "enhances content to deliver more natural skin tones, detailed colors, and amazingly lifelike imagesgi." While further details are scant at this point, we do know that the 47-incher will run you $2,999 when it hits next month, while the currently available monstrous plasma will require $5,999.
