Review ZVOX 4002201 Audio Z-Base 220 Low-Profile Single Cabinet Sound System

For a while now bedmate and I accept been talking about accepting a arrangement for our active room. We never feel like we accept that abundant of a complete arrangement to acclaim our HDTV, and sometimes it seems as admitting these new TV's do not accept as acceptable speakers as the old box TV's did. Aback our ancestors plays a lot of video amateur and watches a lot of movies, we are in charge of abundant complete furnishings to ample our room.

The ZVOX 220 is absolutely a basal of aloof how far technology has acquired aback advance you complete system. Five years ago, it would accept amount hundreds added to accomplish the affluent and satisfying, ambient sounds that this astonishing little box offers. This additionally makes it a basal of aloof how affordable added complete has become.

Rarely accept I been this aflame to get a amalgamation in the mail. My bedmate was additionally excited, as he has issues with the low affection of complete that the baby speakers in our TV puts out. We opened the box and absorbed up the arrangement afterwards a abbreviate examination. Yes, this chic DVR-size assemblage begin its abode bound beneath our TV.

The architecture of the assemblage was, as the account shows, sized altogether for our 32" TV. It is advised so that your TV can sit anon on top of it. At aboriginal there were apropos that the weight of the TV could account accident to the ZVOX unit. Our quick assay appear that the assemblage is affluence solid abundant to abutment the TV. There was no billowing from the TV's weight, and the ZVOX assemblage has a blubbery and solid feel to it, abundant added so than your boilerplate cyberbanking device, whatever it may be.

The apostle that provides the low-frequency bass is located, absolutely conveniently, on the basal of the unit. This allows for a added ergonomic design. There are three advanced facing, abate speakers in the advanced of the unit. This is area best of the High abundance acute sounds are emitted. Overall, the architecture is actual able-bodied anticipation out. The acute noises and choir are projected into the allowance as a aftereffect of the 3 advanced adverse speakers, while the bass rumbles acutely in the background, this is a aftereffect of the bass apostle adverse the apparent on which the accessory sits. There is allowance amid the basal of the ZVOX assemblage and the apparent on which it is placed and allowance afresh from the basal of the assemblage to the apostle within, this amplitude allows for the bass complete to advance and mature, you'll apprehend barrage in a movie, again attending alfresco to see if a storm is coming.

All of the speakers are adequate able-bodied by a boxy metal screen, this awning additionally protects the LED display.

The assemblage comes with a baby remote, which is pre-programmed to assignment with it out of the box. There is additionally a book and a agenda that has all instructions to affairs your TV, Satellite, or Cable alien to assignment for the ZVOX, if you wish. We aloof use the alien that came with the unit. The buttons are accessible to understand, as you columnist them, the assemblage affectation lights up, announcement your selection. One abundant affection that the alien offers, besides aloof bass and acute adjustments, is an avant-garde articulation acceptable button that, aback pressed, brings up the aggregate of the choir to bout that of loud and asymmetric complete effects, this addresses an generally disregarded acrimony that has bedeviled television ball aback its birth.

The ports on the aback of the ZVOX 220 acquiesce for Coaxial, digital, and bifold analog angle ups. There is additionally a acceptable 35mm Jack in the front, acceptance you to calmly transform the complete of whatever accessory comes with a approved headphone jack. The kicker? It comes with a 35mm adapter chord, absolutely convenient. We use the analog angle ups and adulation the affection of complete we get as a result. Hooking the assemblage up is a snap, as is axis the capital ability on and off, as there is a simple ability about-face on the aback as well.

Now for the complete quality. I accept called to analysis the complete affection last, because it is absolutely the best important aspect to booty from this review. Afterwards all, no amount how blithely designed, innovative, or multi-functional a complete arrangement is, it still needs to bear in the complete department. Well, I can acquiescently accompaniment that the ZVOX not alone meets expectations of performance, it exceeds them, by far. The best way I can anticipate to call the complete is like axis your active allowance into a theater. It sounds like you are amidst by speakers, and aback angry up, you can feel the bass in your chest. Its accomplishments in complete assume absurd aback attractive at its baby size, or cerebration about the actuality that there are no alien speakers. This arrangement works abundant at low/ abstinent levels, but is best aback angry up, it is again that you can absolutely butt how abundant the arrangement is able of doing.

This is an accomplished artefact for any complete acceptable reason. Accomplished for movies, games, sports, music, the account goes on and on. I could say so abundant more, but by now, if you are attractive for an affordable and absolute advancement to a basal home ball complete system, you should already be on your way to acrimonious up the ZVOX 220. It is what you accept been cat-and-mouse for to accompany your ball to life.

Home theater sound from a cabinet about the size of a DVD player. 

Front controls include power, volume, mute and input selection, plus a 3.5mm stereo input for easy attachment of your smartphone or MP3 player. 

Featuring inputs for analog stereo, optical, and coaxial digital.

The benefits of PhaseCue vary greatly based on program material. Live music and well-recorded modern movie soundtracks will deliver rich, three-dimensional sound, pulling the sound out from the speakers and into the room to literally surround the listener. While no virtual surround system will give you the exact surround effects of a good 5.1 system, the ZVOX 220 does a remarkable job.

Review LG BH4120S Blu-Ray Home Cinema System

By Raymond Bemis

 

The home amphitheater arrangement was all it was advertised. It has the appearance and ability that I capital and was analytic priced. Setup was easy, however, it could accept been easier if the speakers had clearer identification, but I bent that it did not amount which apostle went area as continued as its cable was affiliated to the actual adapter on the system.
I accept acclimated the arrangement for two anniversary now and accept not had any problems with it.

Review Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)

I purchased this subwoofer about 2 months ago and back again accept accustomed it an all-encompassing alert test. Following is a account of things I would do to advance complete affection as able-bodied as some anxiety I accept against it.

Before I alpha off, I would like to analyze one affair about the PSW-10 that ability unjustly about-face off abeyant buyers from it: it runs at 50 watts RMS. In the apple of music and complete systems, one of the better misconceptions out there is that wattage anon correlates with how loud a apostle is. THIS IS NOT NECCESARILY TRUE! The ability of the disciplinarian determines how loud it gets at a assertive wattage, not alone the bulk of ability you're pumping into it! This is why you can buy, for example, computer speakers that avowal 400watts of ability and accept them calmly massacred in agreement of aggregate by apostle set ups with bisected the ability (for added examples, analyze computer apostle systems to shelf systems to a authentic complete system. You will acquisition the volume, at a accustomed wattage, tends to access as you go bottomward the spectrum).

I activate the PSW-10 calmly competed in agreement of aggregate with every added sub in it's range, including those active at alert to three times the ability RMS. If you demand to prove it to yourself, run bottomward to your bounded Circuit City (who sells Polk subs) and complete analysis it yourself.

Now, assimilate the audacity of the review.

1. As far as access subwoofers come, this is apparently the best blast for your blade that you can acquisition bar none, abnormally because the affection of the build. Built about aerial affection average body agenda and application a awful able 10" driver, the PSW-10 manages to blast as well, if not louder, than added subwoofers in this category, admitting active at 50 watts RMS.

2. The complete affection is excellent, with actual little baloney at aerial volumes aloft 50 hz or so, with abounding circuit calmly actuality accomplished because of the ported design. In the 40hz - 50hz range, the polk begins to appearance the limitations of an access akin sub, the complete acceptable hardly added decrepit (though not angrily so) with continued breadth sounds(ie. a hellicopter landing slowly) while still blockage brittle for access babble (ie. a gunshot or bassdrum). Beneath the 40hz, it's appealing abundant non-functional as a subwoofer. I should additionally accent that no access subwoofer has any redeeming qualities beneath 40hz.

3. Music is area this subwoofer absolutely shines! It's bass is absolute for every brand of music (my tastes tend to be a bit ecclectic and as such I activated it with Classical, Hip Hop, Electronica, Rock, and Jazz) you can bandy at it. I was best afflicted back arena The Chieftans "Ballad of the Irish Horse" anthology and could accept affidavit the drums were arena in the allowance (a attestation to the affection of polk's design). Abysmal bass is 99.9% of the time is bound to aloft 50hz, appropriate in the candied atom of the polk, and as such, the bass curve in every Rap song I approved (the acute actuality Wolfpak - Gangsta Rap and Kanye West - Golddigger) was absolutely impressive, authentic and crisp. Back arena the 1812 Overature, the cannons were able-bodied produced, if actual hardly decrepit (as it is one of the few songs that ventures beneath 50hz) but all-embracing actual good. I was actual afflicted with the complete affection of the polk in music.

4. That actuality said, this subwoofer is ideal for music and will be black for those who ambition to use it for cine watching. While it is benign to add it to any non-subwoofer setup, the 10" disciplinarian struggles to hit the low lows with the complete acceptable decrepit with deep, abysmal bass of any length. I activate this to be a botheration with all access subwoofers I've tried, not aloof the polk, so booty this with a atom of salt.

Overall, this subwoofer is apparently the best access subwoofer you can get bar none.

TIPS FOR MAKING IT SOUND BETTER!!!

1. First affair of note: Like all affection access akin subwoofers, abundant complete comes with the cede of volume. This sub works best in abate rooms, say 20x10 maximum. Any beyond and the complete will activate to get absent in the allowance and complete strained.

2. Best subwoofers assignment the best forth the advanced bank of your complete system, in the corner. This about is not a basal rule. To acquisition the best area for the subwoofer (this works for any sub for your information), abode the subwoofer area you would commonly be sitting, alert to it. Play a song and airing about the allowance until you acquisition abode area the bass sounds the best. Move the sub to that area and it should be alluringly placed!

3. One shortcoming about the Polk is the abridgement of an LFE input: you alone get RCA and apostle band inputs acceptation that there is no way you can bypass the centralized crossover of the sub. Because the bazaar it's aiming for, this shouldn't be too big of a botheration for best people, but owners with acceptable receivers ability be a bit affronted by this. Also, do not amalgamation the sub through the apostle line: it'll lose a fair bulk of complete affection from banishment the bass through baby barometer wires. Hook it up through the RCA if at all accessible and you will be abundantly rewarded.

In summation, admitting the anxiety inherent of the access akin subwoofer chic (and LFE port), this is an accomplished subwoofer which warrants all the acclaim it's been getting.

Reviw Vizio SB4021M-A1 40" 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

After application a Samsung 5.1 approach beleaguer arrangement for our active allowance for the accomplished 2 years, my apron and I started attractive into complete confined to annihilate apostle adjustment issues, base clutter, and abridgement of power.

I purchased a Vizio SB4021M-A1 complete bar at a civic broad barn abundance and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I had actually no problems ambience the arrangement up. Turning the wireless subwoofer on afore the complete bar automatically links it, no agreement required. Turning them on the added way about will crave one to columnist and absolution the 'Link' button in the rear ancillary of the subwoofer. The arrangement includes an RCA cable, but an optical cable is acerb recommended for optimal complete quality.

The audio settings are as follows:

- Aggregate ascendancy ambience calibration from 0 to 35
- Bass and acute settings calibration from -10 to 10
- TruVolume: Evens out audio volume. I accredit it alone aback watching TV to abbreviate the acutely acid louder aggregate of TV commercials.
- SRS TruSurround HD (STHD): processes multichannel audio for two speakers in a way that tricks the academician into cerebration there are added than two speakers [...] This is the aboriginal affection I enabled out of the box.
- Input options: RCA, optical, USB (USB did not assignment with my iPhone 4). Again, an optical cable is acerb recommended.

We accept a 1 year old adolescent as of the date of this review. Our antecedent home amphitheater arrangement didn't appearance her one bit. With the aggregate set at alone 15 on the Vizio SB4021M-A1 arrangement during "The Avengers", my babe became abashed and bound ran into my accoutrements at The Hulk's aboriginal barrage aback Bruce Banner has his aboriginal transformation in the film. I've gone through "Act of Valor", "Jurassic Park", and "The Dark Knight Rises" on this arrangement and I was acutely afflicted with the complete accuracy and the STHD feature. In agreement of complete quality, this arrangement rivals the "high end" manufacturers like Bose. It alone came THAT abutting for me.

The affidavit I gave this artefact four stars are because it wouldn't comedy music off my iPhone 4 and because at times, it can become hardly bulky to bolt a arresting from the alien control. Overall, the Vizio SB4021M-A1 is a absurd complete bar arrangement for those on a budget. The subwoofer pumps out accomplished bass for its size, and accumulate in apperception that adjustment has a accomplished lot to do with that. The user chiral recommends agreement the subwoofer adjoin a bend for optimal complete performance. Since the subwoofer has a LINE-OF-SIGHT wireless ambit of up to 60 feet, it can be placed in any bend of the allowance aural ambit of an electrical aperture and aural line-of-sight of the complete bar.

Overall, this an accomplished arrangement for those on a account or who don't demand to bake over $1,000 on a high-end complete bar/multiple apostle system.

PROS:
- accomplished complete affection because price
- abundant STHD processing
- acutely accessible to set up
- user affable interface and controls
- wireless subwoofer for greater adjustment flexibility
- bank mounts and ascent arrangement included

CONS:
- although subwoofer ambit is 60 ft, it has to be aural line-of-sight of the complete bar
- does not arise to abutment iPhone (did not analysis USB connectivity on beam drive as of date of review)
- alien ascendancy arresting hardly weak

2013-02-05 UPDATE: I begin the affair with the alien control. The array awning doesn't columnist it bottomward with abundant burden to accomplish solid contact. I bound the affair by acid a 1"x1.5" allotment off a area of printer paper, folding it no added than 4 times, and agreement it on top of the array afore sliding the awning aback on. This applies abundant burden on the array to accomplish a acceptable contact.

Review Klipsch G-17 Air Wireless Sound System (High Gloss Black, 1)

Disclaimer!! Audio "quality" is ultimately a abstract angle that depends abundantly on claimed taste, allowance characteristics and recording quality, amid added things. While this analysis represents my own acquaintance with the G17, -to-be buyers would be astute to analysis this arrangement in person, with their own music, afore cartoon any audible conclusions.

I purchased this assemblage as anon as it became available. I'd been attractive for a complete, bunched audio band-aid for my NYC accommodation and, actuality a annoyed buyer of added Klipsch audio products, I absitively to try it out. The allowance I capital to use it in is small, maybe 10' x 12', so I admitting the G17 may be the appropriate admeasurement for what I needed. Basically, I had three criteria: complete quality, concrete size, and input/connectivity options. While the admeasurement of the assemblage is absolutely compact, it was the complete and abridgement of ascribe options that ultimately led me to acknowledgment the artefact for article altered altogether.

First off, the presentation of the G17 was good. The included affection gloves were a nice blow that prevented me from beating feel prints all over the actual bright unit. It's actual nice attractive and the alluring grille awning is able and works well. The body affection is excellent. The assemblage adequately abounding and actual stable...no vibrations, etc. The admeasurement of the G17 is absolute for baby spaces and actuality able to wall-mount is an advantage I would accept taken advantage of had I kept it. It was very, actual accessible to set up and I was alive music from assorted Mac's and my iPhone (4, not 4S) in 15 account or so.

Here is area I was broken on the G17. The complete is acceptable overall...very brittle and bright aural with abounding amounts of bass (mid-bass, anyways.) Instrumental recordings were activating and active and vocals articulate crisp. However, the midrange was weak. Because abundant of the "oomph" in the music I accept a acceptable timelives in the midrange frequencies, I was larboard activity aghast with the abridgement of ability and "weight" in the sound. Due of the aerial top-end and anemic mids aggregate articulate rather "light" and somewhat small, behindhand of what music I played. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not what I was attractive for. The G17 is not an ideal audio band-aid if you like to "feel" the weight of, say, electric guitars in bedrock music. Guitars in accurate alive in the midrange, so I was larboard activity uninspired. There was a absolutely hasty bulk of bass advancing from this affair which articulate absolutely good. But accept that this is accomplished by accretion the bulk of "mid-bass", or, the accomplished end of the bass frequencies. It is physically absurd for such a baby asylum with baby woofers to pump out accurate low-end bass abundance so if you're assured annihilation forth the curve of what a sub-woofer provides, adapt to be disappointed. Low-end boom and assault bang drums are not accident here. That said, there is a acceptable bulk of bound low-end that will amuse abounding listeners. Now, because this is a distinct complete bar, don't apprehend annihilation in the way of stereo separation. Again, it's aloof absurd to charm stereo imaging and/or the advanced complete date accomplished through two speakers set afar from anniversary other. Basically, the G17 has a rather apparent complete back compared to aloof about any brace of stereo speakers that accept at atomic 6 anxiety of break amid them. But I accept that's to be accepted so I can't beating it there.

The added ache I had was abridgement of ascribe options. Yes, I know, this is an Airplay accessory and it works able-bodied as such, but for $550 I would accept admired some affectionate of concrete ascribe advantage added than the 1/8" analog input. Because I had the G17 anchored beneath my HDTV, I capital to use the Klipsch to run audio from the TV. My TV has a headphone jack which I affiliated to the G17, but the complete was anemic and thin...really not a apparent advance over the congenital TV speakers, which afraid me. I apperceive it wasn't fabricated for this purpose, but I wasn't attractive for much... aloof a appropriate advance over the banal TV speakers, really. While TV audio was bigger with the G17, it was not about acceptable abundant to absolve the price.

I apprehend now that I accepted too abundant from the G17. Partly because of the exceptional price, I was acquisitive for audio characteristics that the laws of physics would never allow. To sum it up, the G17 sounds acceptable and will assignment able-bodied for addition attractive for a compact, simple airplay solution, but those attractive for a big, able complete to alter a stereo arrangement charge not apply. I concluded up activity with the Audioengine A5+ speakers w/ S8 subwoofer and an alien DAC (highly recommended for agenda music, absolutely improves complete quality) commutual to the optical affiliation on my Apple TV2 for airplay streaming. Granted, this is a added big-ticket and beyond system, but there is artlessly no comparison. The Audioengine bureaucracy sounds absolutely astounding and absolutely assault abroad the G17 (and aggregate abroad priced comparably) in every believable way. It additionally sounds admirable active audio from my TV via RCA inputs. With this, my accoutrement for agenda audio is now complete and I am actual annoyed with the results.

In conclusion, the G17 is a nice-sounding, accessible to use airplay band-aid that may be absolute for some, but it artlessly cannot accomplish the akin of complete quality, stereo imaging and ability that a brace of acceptable affection bookshelf speakers and a sub woofer will accommodate (Which, through the action of evaluating the G17, I accomplished is what I was absolutely attractive for.) Because my accommodation ultimately came bottomward to my own tastes, and because this is an airplay arrangement and not a abounding audio system, I went with 4 stars instead of 3.

Review Onkyo HT-S3500 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker/Receiver Package

I've now confused into my new abode and accept this arrangement set up and bank mounted.
A few things:
-Attaching these speakers application mounts is a pain. They alone accept a keyhole ascent option, and the arise set I bought which said it was accordant with keyhole speakers did not work. I had to buy some added basics and washers to get it to attach. I absitively to alone arise the rear speakers with the mounts, and accept the avant-garde speakers blind on bank screws. Ascent anon to the bank with screws absolutely works appealing able-bodied though. I absorbed some adhering acquainted pads to the aback of the speakers to annihilate any accessible beating adjoin the wall.
-The blast aroma I mentioned initially is mostly gone.
-Low aggregate alert is still a bit of a pain. I acquisition myself advancement the centermost approach to accomplish the choir angle out added backward at night aback the wife is asleep. The complete is abundant at college volumes, though.
-Edit- I anchored the low hum, it was a arena bend acquired by my cable line. Completely altered to the speakers.

I'm still blessed with the purchase. The bulk is cheaper now than what I paid, I anticipate it's a appealing acceptable deal.

Original review:
This is Onkyo's new access akin 5.1 arrangement for March 2012. I was a little alert about affairs this arrangement because of the problems with the antecedent bearing HT-S3400, but accept not had any problems so far.

First off, this is my aboriginal anytime beleaguer complete system, so I do not accept a lot of history to analyze it to.

Pros:
-Initial bureaucracy was actual easy. Aloof ameliorate the receiver and speakers, and angle them all up. The apostle wire it comes with is blush coded for anniversary speaker, and is beneath for the avant-garde speakers and best for the rear. I accept a PS3 and HD Cable. I aloof absorbed those into the receiver via HDMI, and ran the HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV. Done.
-The on awning bureaucracy is actual acceptable and adequately accessible to use. The options in anniversary class are not consistently automatic though.
-Several altered alert modes, appealing accessible to aeon through and try them all.
-There is a acceptable USB anchorage in the avant-garde for hooking up an IPOD for music playback. You can again ascendancy the music through the receiver remote.
-The speakers are nice and clear. The sub is passive, but puts out a appropriate bulk of Bass. I had to about-face it way bottomward as I alive in a address with neighbors below.

Cons (none of these affair me too much, but could be important to others):
-Like best systems of this level, the included apostle wire seems adequately cheap. It works for now, but I will apparently replace.
-The receiver puts out absolutely a bit of heat, accomplish abiding you accept some blast amplitude aloft it. There is a sticker on top that warns it can get absolutely hot.
-With the calefaction is advancing a bit of an blast aroma while it is running. I anticipate this is alpha to fade, and achievement it will not be apparent afterwards some added time.
-The speakers do not accept any threaded spiral holes for ascent at all. There is alone a aperture and aperture for hooking over a bolt. I'm apparently activity to get stands with adhering to arise these.
-The wire inputs in the aback of the receiver and the speakers are all bounce loaded clips. Again, I anticipate this is adequately accepted for this bulk range.
-The bureaucracy card is not consistently automatic to use. I apprehend through best of the included chiral (on cd) to amount out all of the added avant-garde settings. The acceptable account is the chiral is able-bodied accounting and does a acceptable job of answer everything.
-There is a night-time (dynamic compression) option, but it alone works in Dolby 5.1 mode. My wife goes to bed actual aboriginal at night, so I charge to use this absolutely a bit for low aggregate listening. Depending on your component/source Dolby 5.1 is not consistently a alert advantage with the receiver, though. For example, my cable is transmitted in 5.1, but On-Demand programming does not arise to be. So I can use the night-time alert with alive TV, but not On-Demand. Frustrating.
-No equalizer. You can acclimatize Bass and Treble, and calibrate anniversary apostle by adopting or blurred the decibels, but you cannot acclimatize the alone frequencies (that I accept begin at all anyway).

Other thoughts:
Overall I am absolutely blessed with this system. It meets my needs, but ability not be absolutely abundant for some. There is no microphone or automatic arrangement for calibrating the beleaguer sound, but you aloof go into the bureaucracy card and acclimatize your sitting ambit from anniversary apostle to calibrate. It seems to assignment absolutely well. I was watching a war cine and had helicopters and bullets aerial all about me. Initially I begin the accent aggregate to be too low watching movies, but I aloof upped the decibels of the centermost channel, and now it sounds abundant better.

Note: I did not buy abundance through Amazon, alone because addition banker was alms chargeless expedited shipping. I generally advertence reviews actuality though, so capital to add mine.
