Paradigm's Speakers On a Stick

Yeah, never mind the missing second “n” in Millenia, because Paradigm’s forte is speakers, not spelling. The Millenia 20 Trio ($999) is an odd beast that combines left, right, and center-channel speakers into a single bar-shaped cabinet. Trying to fool your ears into thinking you’ve got separate speakers instead of a one-piece job is usually an exercise in futility, but the… → Read More

The only thing better than a regular sub has to be a Super Mario Bros. one. This bitchin’ sub cabinet features two original Mario blocks, including the infamous question-mark block. → Read More

Zune's Altec Lansing Speaker Dock

this morning, now check out an as-of-yet unannounced accessory for the Zune. The Zune dock from Altec Lansing seems to be just a set of speakers with controls on top. We say “just”, but this kind of product has fed the families of iPod accessory employees for years now. We don’t know whether the player has a USB port to connect to your computer, or whether it has any kind of AV… → Read More

TV Hear Wireless Remote Speaker

The device works on a 900MHz frequency so there’s less interference with your Wireless or Bluetooth devices, and transmits from up to 30 feet away. The only downside comes from the six AA battery requirement, which means you either have to stock up on some rechargeable or head down to your local… → Read More
