McIntosh Laboratory's House of Sound NYC-
Thank you to Ricky Miranda, Franz, and everybody that makes this place possible. Incredible demo's in every room, but the highlight for me was the Sonus Faber Suprema reference system. Over 8 kw of Mcintosh power brings this sytem just a bit shy of $1,000,000.

The theater was equally impreesive, especially considering the space they had to work with- 9.16.4 system showcasing the Arena in wall line from Sonus Faber with each of the 16 subwoofers time-aligned with the in wall/in-ceiling speakers gives the illusion of being surrounded by full range speakers, with the video being handled by a Sony VPL-GTZ380 projector with a Kaleidescape movie server as the sole source, with a MadVR envy processor handling everything from frame rate to aspect ratio management.
Thanks again to Ricky and Franz from Mcintosh for showing both my client and me a great time. Ear to ear smiles...

However, adding a sound bar will substantially improve the overall sound without the space (or budget) for an entire home theater system.

Did you know that all aspects of new stereo or home theater equipment require a "breaking in" period? It's not just something we do to pass the time when reviewing products – we do it because it genuinely makes a difference. All high-fidelity equipment, from headphones to Bluetooth speakers, CD players to amplifiers, turntables, and even cables only reach their peak of performance after hours of initial use.

As components break in you'll notice changes in the sound over time. In speakers, the drivers and crossover become accustomed to their operating parameters, and the metals in cables begin to relax. With some components, especially amplifiers, up to 50 hours of continuous play may be necessary.

We've changed our opinion on a product after letting it run thoroughly over a weekend before starting testing equipment.

Vinyl sales set records in 2022 and today. Harry Styles’ new album Harry’s House made an estimated $7.26 million in sales in the US in its first week, but the really fascinating thing is how it made it. According to Billboard, most of that — $4.49 million — was from 182,000 vinyl record sales, the highest volume of vinyl records sold since modern-era sales tracking began in 1991. By comparison, the estimated revenue from streaming over the same period was $1.32 million from 253.3 million streams. That means that vinyl, of all things, was responsible for 61.9 percent of U.S. revenue for the album.
