There’s nothing quite like watching a favourite or new movie on the big screen; the sheer magnitude of everything that is going on around you means the ensuing few hours are an uninterrupted emersion into whichever world you have chosen to plunge yourself.  Be it battles with dragons, Western shootouts or technology-filled forays into space – the cinema can take you there and back from the comfort of a cinema seat.

Alright, so cinema seats aren’t really that comfortable, especially compared to your sofa at home.  They also don’t have a pause remote balanced on their arm and a kitchen with a supply of tea-bags within easy reach; but watching a film at home isn’t quite the same is it?  Well, that would depend…

What if you had a sophisticated home cinema installation, with a 72” high-definition screen and speakers wired all around the room, surrounding you with perfect quality sound and audio?  Wouldn’t that make staying in for a private cinema experience from the comfort of your own bed or sofa a preferable alternative to dealing with angry teenagers in dirty aprons?  Combined with a stack of your favourite films on DVD or Blu-ray and a fridge next to the sofa and I doubt whether you’d ever leave the house to go to work, let alone the cinema!  Read more...

Just for a little educational experiment, I want to go through an analysis and comparison of two very differently priced in ceiling speakers. The first one is the so-called budget friendly Boston Acoustics DSi255 and the second one is the Polk Audio LC80fx. The first can be had for around $100, while you’ll probably have to pay closer to $900 for the Polks.

For those of you who aren’t so well-versed in the subtle (but major) distinctions between different components and aspects of ceiling speakers, this should tell you a lot, and hopefully inform your purchase if that is what you want to do. I am not trying to pick a side, necessarily. I’m just trying to illustrate how there could be a price discrepancy of oh about 800% between the low-end and the high-end in this sub-sector of the ceiling-based audio field.

First let’s look at the Boston Acoustics offering. This one is rather cheap, I’d say. I mean who would think you could get anything from that stalwart of Boston, MA, sonic engineering for $99. Not me. I was surprised to see this deal when I first spotted it.  Read more...

When you first hear the phrase “cost effective” and “home automation” just do not go in the same breath. Afterall it is not rare that home automation costs can reach up to several hundreds of thousands of dollars. So you are going to be happy to hear what I am about to say.

Indulge me for a moment.

It is imperative that you do your home work into the different kinds of home automation manufacturers lines available before choosing one to buy in. Some of the cheaper home automation systems rely on technology that seems to work sometimes than not all.

Some of themore expensive higher end products have such expensive programming fees that go with them that could climb up to $40, just to program the darn thing. (Then you need to add in the design costs, home automation equipment purchase, & installation fees.)

So therefore it only makes sense to choose an affordable home automation set up that will allow you to start off with a simple controller and then allow you to build on it a little at a time.

We have to start somewhere, so why not with a remote control for your home theater system. Instead of Putting all of your money in one of those smart universal remote controls–
