Chris Eberle

Today’s displays are loaded with features, some of which affect image quality, and most of which are aimed at convenience and ease-of-use.

So, join me now as we go on a journey through color science, video standards, and how all this impacts your enjoyment of the movie.

Revel Performa M126Be Bookshelf Speaker Review

Glenn Young

The Performa M126Be loudspeakers are part of Revel’s popular Performa series. The Revel Performa M126Be speakers are bookshelf-sized and are intended to be stand-mounted. Although the speakers can serve as side or rear surrounds, their price and performance make it unlikely that too many will be used for that purpose. These are superior speakers for smaller rooms where articulation, detail, and imaging are the main goals.

Emotiva Airmotiv T2 Floor Standing and C2 Center Channel Loudspeaker Review

Glenn Young

Emotiva’s Airmotiv T2 towers and C2 center channel speaker are very impressive, competing favorably with products costing far more. Despite their industrial looks, the Emotiva Airmotiv T2 and C2 speakers not only excel at home theater, but the towers are some of the most articulate stereo speakers around. Two eight-inch woofers in each cabinet can energize large rooms at high volumes while producing such deep bass that a subwoofer may not even be needed. The air-motion-transformer tweeters are clean and extended without sounding strident. This level of performance at such a low price is rare.
