Reviews

  • Altec Lansing Mix iMT800

    The design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, but its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there.

  • Lexus RX350 Sports Luxury (2009)

    Quiet, plush and with enough gadgets on-board — Remote Touch is nice, but where's the hard disk nav and USB folks? — the RX should please most drivers, but it's more of a passenger's car.

  • Denon AVR-789

    The Denon AVR-789 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

  • TEAC iTB1000 iPod dock

    The TEAC iTB1000 sits at the top of the "party" dock food chain with no known predators, but other devices give better bang for buck.

  • Asus G71

    The G71 is an excellent system. It's expensive, and there's a few missteps Asus has made with hardware configuration, bling and the inclusion of a 32-bit version of Windows, but by and large with this system you get what you pay for — assuming your pockets are deep enough.

  • Harman Kardon AVR 355

    Tailored towards the casual listener rather than Harman Kardon's usual hi-fi customers, the AVR 355 is solid, with great features, but somehow lacking.

  • Denon AVR-1909

    The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

  • TiVo 160 Media Device

    Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.
