Nucleus Reference 5LS Loudspeaker is 6.5-feet tall


Trust us, we've seen tall speakers, but Anthony Gallo Acoustics' Nucleus Reference 5LS is downright towering. These floor standing loudspeakers measure in at 7-inches wide, 11-inches deep and a staggering 78-inches high, and each one manages to boast twelve aluminum, rear-firing 4-inch subwoofers, eight 4-inch carbon fiber midrange drivers and seven CDT II tweeters. Interestingly, the firm doesn't get specific with regard to power handling and frequency response, but we are told that a high-powered amplifier isn't required to fill a room with sound. No word on a price just yet, but look for these skyscrapers to get all up in your ceiling fan's business real soon.

Monster's Einstein Home Control System walkthrough

After meeting up with B. Gates here at CES again our next goal was outfitting the official Engadget offices like his famously automated home. To that end, we checked in with Monster Cable and its Einstein Home Control System, previously sighted at CEDIA, in more fleshed out form. This completely customizable setup, based on what Monster claims is a totally open API that should allow other manufacturers to easily create compatible devices, promises to deliver whatever media you desire to any room in the house. Pictured above is the Nucleus, the all in one DVD player, VOIP phone and remotely accessed control center of the Einstein system. Pricing depends on what components are installed, but should come in under other similar setups, Check out the galleries for a closer look at the rest of the components.
